Our World Sustainability entails recognizing one's membership in the broader social and ecological community, exhibiting appreciation of and respect for others and the natural world, and acting justly to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of human communities and natural systems. At UAlbany, this translates into supporting the 17 Sustainable D evelopment Goals (SD Gs) created by the U nited N ations. T hese goals are unique in that they call for action by all countries, poor, rich and middle-income to promote well-being while protecting the planet. Our World, Our Future embodies the phrase T hink Globally, Act L ocally by incorporating the Sustainable D evelopment Goals alongside components of state and regional plans to identify actions our campus can take to address the sustainability challenges we face today.
