GAP's "A Day in the Life" SDG Photo Competition

UQ Green Ambassador Program & UQ Life are hosting an exciting photo competition. We want to see how creative our UQ community is and how familiar you all are with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)!

All you need to do is take a photo of something in your life that represents one or more of the UN SDG(s). Tell us why this SDG is important to you and how it relates to your photo. For example, our UQ Community Garden Club could represent SDGs #11 &12 as it is a community devoted to sustainable production and consumption of food.

"The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests." - United Nations
