This book explores the vital role that higher education institutions (HEIs) play in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations. The book delves into how HEIs can leverage their unique capabilities--such as research, innovation, and community engagement--to drive social and environmental change. It highlights various case studies and best practices from around the 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.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書探討高等教育機構（HEIs）在推進聯合國可持續發展目標（SDGs）中所扮演的重要角色。書中深入分析高等教育機構如何利用其獨特的能力——如研究、創新和社區參與——來推動社會和環境變革。它突顯了來自全球的各種案例研究和最佳實踐，展示大學和學院如何將可持續性融入其課程中，促進跨學科的方法，並與政府和企業建立夥伴關係。
本書強調教育在賦能個人和社區理解及應對全球挑戰（從貧困和不平等到氣候變遷）中的重要性。它主張高等教育機構不僅是學習的中心，也是塑造政策和影響社會規範的重要參與者。通過為學生提供必要的知識和技能，本書認為高等教育可以引導變革性行動，顯著促進實現可持續發展目標。總體而言，這是對教育工作者、政策制定者和領導者的號召，呼籲他們認識並利用高等教育在創造可持續未來中的潛力。
