Higher Education Sustainability Initiative

Higher Education Sustainability Initiative (HESI) is a global collective that brings together both UN entities and Higher Education Sustainability Networks to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It aims to encourage higher education institutions to commit to teach sustainable development concepts, encourage research on sustainable development issues, green their campuses, and support sustainability efforts in their communities.

The IAU is part of the HESI network and gave a keynote address at the HESI special event at the 2020 UN High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF).
