In collaboration with 10C Shared Space in Guelph, SDG Cities: A holistic approach to activating SDGs in mid-sized communities for long-term impacts.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) put forward by the United Nations in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development have been at the heart of much of the work of both 10C and Pillar Nonprofit, and their respective members, since their beginnings.
SDG Cities will enable these two mid-size cities, London and Guelph, to increase the number of people and organizations actively using and contributing to the SDGs. Through knowledge-sharing, story-telling and community connection, this project will help to increase awareness of SDGs within these communities and share ideas about how these can be incorporated into existing and future structures and networks, working toward longterm systems change.
SDG Cities is funded by the Government of Canada’s Sustainable Development Goals Program.
