The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent a collective global strategy to create a world where “no-one will be left behind”. Higher education institutions play a critical role in fulfillment of the goals and can do more to connect their work with the communities they serve and help create a more sustainable future. As organizations that have stood for many centuries in some cases, the ability of universities and colleges to deliver against the goals will demand they adapt to this global agenda for change.
Higher Education and the Sustainable Development Goals is a series of 17 books that address each of the SDGs in turn specifically through the lens of higher education.
Submissions are invited for SDG 6 and 15, and they will be indexed in Scopus on a first-come, first-served basis for the following:
