Led by our College of Health and Medicine and supported by the World Health Organisation as a globally relevant demonstration project, HealthLit4Kids aims to bring members of the education and health sectors together with families and communities to improve health literacy in Tasmania. The University recognises that Indigenous views of health include relationships to lands and waters, and health of Country. Our University works with government and communities to improve the health and well-being of Tasmanians, and from Tasmania to the world, through medical research educating future and current health workforce improving quality and sustainability of healthcare and health systems increasing educational attainment and health literacy and addressing social inequities, local and global environmental challenges, and planetary health. The University has over 900m2 of garden beds for food production across all four campuses often adjacent to our accommodation facilities, with the largest at the brand-new campus at Inveresk in Launceston. We actively explore approaches to enhance food security by addressing social inequities through on-campus programs and activities to allow access to food and through education to increase health literacy, climate change mitigation and adaptation in food systems, and supply chain management in agribusiness. The University supports research into sustainable and innovative food production while increasing the skills and employability of people in the rural sector. Below are just a few examples of the unique work being undertaken by our institution, and the people within it, to deliver a more fair, equitable and sustainable society. Our sustainability mission is individual as well as institutional. The SDGs are specifically named as a University curriculum focus and the SDGs clearly align with many of our research themes, as well as informing our operational activities. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), through the United Nations (UN) Development Programme, integrate environmental, socio-cultural and economic aspects and recognise how they intersect in achieving sustainable development across generations and in all its dimensions, including in other UN programs.Īs we aim to be a global, sustainable and responsible leading institution, our Strategic Framework for Sustainability (PDF 2.5 MB) aligns with these goals. Now is the time to create a society based on a climate positive and circular economy, where inequality diminishes rather than grows, and where a better measure of the quality of life guides our choices. We know that our mission is a pressing one.
