SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

SDG # 13

Climate Action

The thirteenth Sustainable Development Goal recognizes that climate change is a global problem that requires collective action, and that LPU-Laguna must aid in reducing carbon footprint. Ultimately, SDG 13 is about taking responsibility for the planet’s future and working towards a more sustainable and climate-resilient world. As an educational institution, sustainability practices on campus must be promoted. By engaging learners in climate-related projects and initiatives, they can be more empowered to become climate leaders and advocates in their communities.
