CERCA Slides: Sustainable Development Goals

Sustainable Development Goals

This set of CERCA slides celebrates the United Nations’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and encourages students to understand the powerful role they can play in making them a reality. Students learn about how they can improve the lives of people across the globe, while being mindful of the natural resources that we share with future generations. After selecting the SDGs they feel passionate about and conducting research, they will use their literacy skills to enlist others in everyday actions to drive progress toward those goals!
