The 17 new SDGs and their and their associated 169 targets replaced the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and aim to end global poverty, hunger and inequality, take action on climate change and the environment, improve access to health and education, build strong institutions and partnerships by 2030.

Following the University being ranked sixth in the world in the 2019 Times Higher Education (THE) University Impact Rankings, ECU has been ranked in the top 4% of universities in the world in 2020 for SDG 5: Gender Equality.
