Final thoughts • For us our very existence depends on protecting the biosphere without it we will not exist. • Once we identify the most relevant SDGs related to our programme, the next step is to evaluate our current practices and modify our core processes to suit our intended goals. • How do we improve the quality of education and life on campus? • In what ways can our products influence the world around them? • Lets take a step and build on it
