The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) encompass environmental sustainability, poverty and hunger reduction, health, economic development, gender equality, and peace and inclusion. The SDGs encourage and empower young people’s engagement, positioning them as active participants in achieving these goals. This course will examine the background of these goals and the methods and challenges to achieving them. Students will explore global citizenship by relating these global justice goals and their underlying principles to their individual values and circumstances, and to their experiences and aspirations as students at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
