globe, showcasing how universities and colleges can integrate sustainability into their curricula, promote interdisciplinary approaches, and foster partnerships with governments and businesses. The book emphasizes the importance of education in empowering individuals and communities to understand and tackle global challenges, from poverty and inequality to climate change. It argues that HEIs are not just centers of learning, but also crucial actors in shaping policy and influencing societal norms. By equipping students with the necessary knowledge and skills, the book posits that higher education can lead to transformative actions that significantly contribute to achieving the SDGs. Overall, it is a call to action for educators, policymakers, and leaders to recognize and harness the potential of higher education in creating a sustainable future for all. |
