I was involved in a useful discussion recently about the idea of replacing the traditional 'liberal arts' curriculum with the U.N.'s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). This website at The University College Cork offers tools on how to do that, including mapping your course, program or research to the SDG. It was launched back in 2021, and there's also a mapping project that takes things further, including a comparison of ten types of expertise across all SDG. Here's a U.N. mapping of even more types of skills. Here's the tool as a spreadsheet, from the University of Saskatchewan. Or use this spreadsheet to map to specific indicators. Here's York University's course mapping. The University of Auckland has provided a keyword mapping (see also this .xslx spreadsheet). Here's an example from Kwantlen Polytechnic University for SDG week earlier in March. To get started, maybe consult this guide to getting started with the SDG in universities, including the case for university engagement, practical tools, and case studies.
