Higher Education and the 2030 Agenda: Moving into the ‘Decade of Action and Delivery for the SDGs’

Written By Meg Harris

This report is the result of the analysis of the 2nd Global Survey on Higher Education and Research for Sustainable Development (HESD) conducted by IAU in June and July 2019. It shows the important role that Universities and other Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) play in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations and where issues still exist. It is also proof of the commitment and responsibilities of many Higher Education Institutions globally towards the 2030 Agenda.

536 valid responses, from all world regions, were received by IAU during the six weeks the survey was open. The report analyses how universities engage with the SDGs in particular and how they promote sustainable development more broadly speaking.
