The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), otherwise known as the Global Goals, are a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. As a statewide service provider, we are committed to aligning our work with the SDGs and Penn State’s strategic plan for a sustainable future. Our efforts focus on promoting environmental, human, and economic vitality across Pennsylvania, both now and for future generations.
