SDG-iLevel Maps: Connecting University Staff to the SDGs

The SDG-iLevel project developed an innovative tool to highlight the important role university staff play in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG-iLevel Maps.

These maps offer a unique lens through which universities can align the SDGs with the specific roles, responsibilities, and tasks of their staff. By identifying the contributions of academic staff to sustainable development, the SDG-iLevel Maps enhance visibility and recognition of their efforts, fostering a more inclusive and impactful approach to the global SDG agenda within higher education.

Key Benefits of the SDG-iLevel Maps:

• Mapping Contributions: Helps universities map and assess individual and institutional actions towards the SDGs, aiding institutional evaluation.
• Increasing Visibility: Promotes awareness of the SDG-related initiatives being carried out by individual staff members.
• Celebrating Efforts: Recognizes and celebrates staff contributions to sustainability within universities.
• Integrating SDGs in Roles: Facilitates the integration of SDGs in job descriptions, professional learning plans, and career frameworks.
• Inspiring Action: Encourages proactive thinking and action, pushing for more sustainable development contributions from all staff.
