本文将讨论用于确定UWE布里斯托计划课程中可持续性的基线状态的方法，并开始评估大学正在对联合国可持续发展目标（SDG）中概述的目标做出的贡献。此外，它将考虑这些知识将如何告知未来的课程开发和机构内的研究活动和未来的跟踪。UWE布里斯托参与可持续发展目标的经验可能对其他机构（高等教育或其他地方）有用，这些机构同样旨在为可持续发展做出积极贡献。UWE已经对其参与可持续发展目标中强调的问题进行了基线评估。可持续发展目标与大学各院系的主要学科重点之间的一致性已经确定，该机构可持续发展计划的核心主题与可持续发展目标之间的一致性也已经确定。这一进程的下一个阶段涉及审查UWE的一揽子研究方案、其公众和社区参与及其研究活动在多大程度上有助于实现千年发展目标。该大学已经开始了一项针对可持续发展目标的课程规划计划，这将使这一提议得到加强，并在课程设计和交付中嵌入的可持续发展问题的范围和可见度方面更加全面。助产学、环境科学和公共卫生学科已经得到全面评估，而会计和金融、地理和计算机科学正处于评估的最后阶段。其他UWE学科将在2016/17学年进行评估。
This paper will discuss the methods used to identify the baseline status of sustainability in the curriculum of UWE Bristol programmes and to begin to assess the contribution which the university is making towards the objectives outlined in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Further, it will consider how this knowledge will inform future curriculum development and research activities within the institution and future tracking thereof. The experience of UWE Bristol in engaging with the SDGs is likely to be of use to other institutions (in higher education or elsewhere) who are similarly aiming to contribute positively to sustainable development. UWE has undertaken a baseline assessment of its engagement with issues highlighted in the SDGs. Alignment between the SDGs and the primary disciplinary focus of each of the university’s faculties has already been identified, as has alignment between the core themes of the institution’s Sustainability Plan and the SDGs. The next phase of this process involves an examination of UWE’s portfolio of programmes of study, its public and community engagement and its research activities with respect to the extent to which they contribute to the achievement of the Goals. The university has begun a programme of mapping the curriculum against the SDGs which will enable this offer to be enhanced and made more comprehensive in terms of the scope and level of visibility of sustainability issues embedded in programme design and delivery. The disciplines of midwifery, environmental science and public health have already been comprehensively assessed whilst accounting and finance, geography, and computer science are in the final stages of assessment. Other UWE disciplines will be assessed over the 2016/17 academic year.
