The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice. The 17 SDGs feature 169 targets to be met by the year 2030 in a range of areas such as health, gender equality, economic growth and climate action.

CIFAL Newcastle delivers a range of education and training programs including short courses and micro-learning on SDGs, disaster risk reduction and resilience, public health and leadership.

Through the University of Newcastle, CIFAL Newcastle certifies postgraduate programs that equip people from diverse backgrounds to understand disaster resilience and sustainable development principles. Their work will improve organisations’ capacity to operate through extreme events and emerge better placed to face the future.
