The 2020 Inventory on Sustainability Related Student Entities at U of T includes the U of T student groups, clubs, societies, unions and associations with mandates that align with the United Nation’s (UN) Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs).
Source: The inventory has been created based on the keywords from the UN SDGs, as provided the following table. The groups were identified through student group networks, searches of the U of T ULife website, University of Toronto’s Environmental Research Network (UTERN) and other university websites and networks.
Methodology: The list is organized by affiliation or topic, including subject-focused groups, college-based groups, and student unions. The list includes the group name, student contact and email, how the group was identified for the inventory, the school year till the contact has been last updated and the social media accounts of the groups, based on information availability in the sources. A total of 130 sustainability-focused student entities have been identified in the inventory.
Disclaimer: The following table contains the inventory. If you are a member of the U of T community and you believe a student entity should be added to or removed or information edited from the inventory, please contact us.
