Global Aggies Confronting Global Challenges

Global Aggies Confronting Global Challenges 

UC Davis Global Aggies are confronting global challenges to advance the global good in California and around the world, whether by feeding a growing population, taking action against climate change, eradicating inequalities, advancing health and wellbeing, increasing access to clean water, and more. Often using the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework, Global Aggies are collaborating with local and global communities to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.
