Welcome to our SDG Exploration Webquest!

As a university student, you play a crucial role in shaping our world's future. This WebQuest will guide you through an exploration of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - a set of 17 interconnected global objectives designed to create a more sustainable, equitable, and prosperous world for all. These goals range from ending poverty and hunger to promoting gender equality and clean energy. 

Your mission is to:

  1. Understand what SDGs are and why they matter
  2. Explore global achievements in implementing these goals
  3. Reflect on your social responsibility as a university student
  4. With your group members, create a video on Taiwan's efforts toward achieving the SDGs

By the end of this WebQuest, you will have a clearer picture of how we can contribute to these global efforts and make a difference. Let's embark on this journey of discovery and responsibility!
