Methodology
Although the University already make important contributions to the achievement of sustainable development, for it to be truly successful there must be a champion of sustainable development who will play a leading role in the implementation of sustainable development programs.

For this a whole-of-university approach is essential to deepen its engagement with sustainable development, specifically on SDGs.

Steps to be taken:

1. The University President as champion of sustainable development to convene the Presidential Advisory Council to formally announce the adoption and advancement of SDGs at the University. The full breadth of sustainable development and its interconnectedness to university operations needs to be explored and determined.
2. Mapping what the University is already doing; connecting University teaching, research, extension, management and operations to sustainable development
3. Building internal capacity and ownership of the sustainable development advocacies and programs
4. Identifying priorities, opportunities and gaps
5. Integrating, implementing and embedding sustainable development within university strategies, policies and plans
6. Monitoring, evaluating and communicating university actions on sustainable development
7. Strengthening public engagement and participation in addressing sustainable development; initiating and facilitating cross-sectoral dialogue and action; ensuring higher education sector representation in national implementation; helping to design sustainable development-based policies; and demonstrating sector commitment to sustainable development.
