The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development seeks to resolve, between now and 2030, to end poverty and hunger everywhere; to combat inequalities within and among countries, to build peaceful, just and inclusive societies; to protect human rights and promote gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls; and to ensure the lasting protection of the planet and its natural resources.
The World Transformation Scholarship through the University of Wollongong provides the opportunity for rural and regional scholars to make unique and transformative contributions to this shared agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals, with a focus on goals which directly affect the immediate security and quality of life for individuals.
