The SDG Progress website serves as the public report on progress by The Pennsylvania State University towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Progress towards SDG 11 can be found on the SDG 11 Progress page.

Progress against the SDGs is also published in Penn State Sustainability’s biennial reports, in the Penn State Sustainability e-newsletter Mainstream (link goes to Mainstream archives – subscribe HERE), and on SDG 11 there are links to news and journal articles. Reports on SDG 11 can be accessed using the Pure Elsevier search and on the SDG 11 webpage by clicking the Publications icon.

Penn State tracks progress on SDG11 in its STARS report section EN-10 Community Partnerships about efforts towards inclusion, resource efficiency, and more. These include the Sustainable Communities Collaborative which connects faculty, students and staff with local communities to address sustainability challenges through an engaged, collaborative effort to help develop and support thriving, healthy communities; and the Pennsylvania Technical Assistance Program, a federal-state-university partnership whose annual reports catalog the environmental impact of client activity including the reduction of air emissions, carbon dioxide production, and water consumption.
