From the US Green Building Council (USGBC) Central Texas Region –

Join us as we discuss the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, a set of 17 goals developed by the United Nations grounded in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Millennium Declaration, and the 2005 World Summit Outcome. Together we’ll scale this global agenda to the work we in the built environment do on a daily basis and learn how we can further our efforts to think globally and act locally to achieve this ambitious agenda.
