The definition we use is “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations.” The essential purpose of this guide is to highlight courses offered at Cal Poly Pomona that promote one or more of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Each course chosen is reviewed by Sustainability Student Assistants, the University Sustainability Coordinator,Department Professors, and Department Heads.
