SDG 13: Climate Action

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

Centrale Nantes decided to assess the current state of integration of sustainable development into its initial and continuing training courses, and to clarify the contribution of study programmes to sustainable development objectives (Sustainable Development Action Plan - 2021-2025).

Course supervisors have thus pinpointed 2 key SDGs to which their courses contribute.

SDG 13 is one of the most cited for the general engineering programme.
