Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in the library

Many of the University's staff have been involved with research that contributes towards the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

Sustainable Goal 4: Quality Education.  Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

Sustainable Goal 5: Gender Equality.  Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.

Sustainable Goal 10: Reduced Inequality.  Reduce inequality within and among countries.

These three goals are essential to building an equal, diverse and inclusive world. Here you can see research that staff at the University of Plymouth have authored which contributes towards these goals, along with other research that aims to uplift marginalised groups.
