Sustainable Development Goals

@FPEP

Our faculty is committed to making a positive impact on the world through research, education, and collaboration in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Sustainable Development Goals, also known as the SDGs, are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. Adopted by all United Nations Member States, the 17 SDGs provide a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.

At the Faculty of Business, Economics, and Accountancy, our research niche is centered around three key SDGs:

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

We are dedicated to conducting research that fosters inclusive economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all. Our aim is to contribute to policies and practices that promote sustainable economic development, job creation, and equitable opportunities.

SDG 10: Reduced Inequality

Entrepreneurship plays a vital role in reducing inequalities by creating avenues for innovation, economic participation, and wealth distribution. Our research efforts focus on understanding the dynamics of entrepreneurship, especially among marginalized communities, and exploring ways to empower individuals to become successful entrepreneurs.

SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities

Tourism is a significant driver of economic growth and can contribute to the development of sustainable communities. Our research agenda revolves around promoting responsible tourism practices, enhancing the cultural and economic benefits of tourism, and ensuring that tourism contributes positively to the well-being of both urban and rural areas.

By aligning our research efforts with these specific Sustainable Development Goals, we aim to contribute to a more sustainable, equitable, and prosperous world. Through collaboration, innovation, and education, we believe that the Faculty of Business, Economics, and Accountancy, Universiti Malaysia Sabah can play a pivotal role in addressing pressing global challenges and shaping a better future for all.
