A Bibliometric Analysis of Canadian Engineering Higher Education Institutions and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

The seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 with the resolution called the 2030 Agenda. They are a visionary blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all people and the world by 2030 (United Nations General Assembly, 2015). Each of the SDGs have measurable targets set out to achieve the goal. For example, targets related to SDG 7- Affordable and Clean Energy include things like: 1) By 2030 ensure universal access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy services and 2) By 2030 increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
