TODAY marks the 5th anniversary of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) and Sunway City, in particular Sunway University, has been chosen to join the ranks of New York and Paris as the world’s third centre for the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN).
Sunway Education Group CEO Dr Elizabeth Lee said: “At Sunway University, we are dedicated to championing sustainability within and around campus in the continuous effort to make the world a stronger and greener place. By instilling sustainable practices into various aspects of the university experience, we hope to nurture a community of socially and ecologically responsible individuals for today and tomorrow.”
In conjunction with the university’s milestone and landmark achievement, Sunway University is introducing the Are You the Master of Sustainability? board game. The multiplayer board game is aimed to create awareness and understanding of the 17 UNSDGs, where players can learn and play their part in preserving the earth’s resources for future generations.
Sunway University’s staff from Jeffrey Sachs Centre on Sustainable Development and students of the Master in Sustainable Development Management programme played a role in the game’s design, development, and the crafting of questions to educate players on the need to find solutions to some of the most pressing social and environmental issues in Malaysia and the world today.
