OUR CITY A Peg Report on Sustainability Linking Winnipeg’s Well-being to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
Author: Peg
Date: 2018
Abstract: The fourth edition of Our City, A Peg Report looks at Winnipeg through the lens of the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, economic, and social well-being. These three pillars are examined together because, as a whole, they provide a holistic understanding of well-being. Sustainability also implies a responsibility. It is not achieved without proactive and innovative decision-making, which is only possible when data is available, measured, and tracked. For this reason, Peg selects indicators that are compelling and actionable and that inspire Winnipeggers to influence the change they want to see in their communities. Of the indicators tracked by Peg, this report highlights 20 to provide a snapshot of the bigger picture. This is the first Peg report to include the integration of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This is a new approach and lens for Peg that has also been embedded within the online tool (mypeg.ca). Showing the linkages between Peg indicators and the Sustainable Development Goals allows us to not only track our own well-being, but also provides an opportunity to see how we are influencing, and part of, change globally.
