Future of higher education and the SDG’s
Transforming higher education for global sustainability. An urgent call for higher education institutions (HEIs) to play a much stronger role in the necessary societal transformations for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They are called upon to face the challenge of using the knowledge they produce and the education of future generations they carry out to contribute to the solution of some of the world’s greatest problems. This implies developing a radical agenda that requires new alliances and new incentives. The opportunity is for the HEIs to embrace the 2030 Agenda by making sustainability and SDG literacy a core requisite for all faculty members and students, to connect students with real world problems and to foster immersive experiences in the local contexts.
