This 15-credit advanced certificate is designed to build human capacity to achieve sustainable development goals. The University of the West Indies and SUNY Empire State College will cooperate, sharing expertise and teaching to educate students on sustainable development. The concept of sustainable development being taught in this program goes beyond the traditional ways of measuring growth and looks to improve well-being and quality of life for all. This would involve engagement with all segments of society in planning and implementing development initiatives with a view to leaving a better world for subsequent generations
