I have met Prof. Adam Tickell, Vice Chancellor of the University of Sussex, at the Wilton Park Conference on Higher education and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We are both lead discussants on a fireside discussion moderated by Joanna Newman, CEO of the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) on the role of Universities in delivering SDGs.
Earlier at the opening session of the Conference, speaker after speaker decried the apparent limited impact of Universities on the SDGs. Clearly we at universities have to do more for the achievement of these goals.
