Higher education institutions (HEIs) are vital in the pursuit of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and improve global well-being by 2030. HEIs play a crucial role in achieving these goals by providing knowledge, skills, and mindsets needed to address sustainability challenges. They can incorporate SDG elements into teaching, offer cutting-edge research, engage with local communities, and provide sustainable services. Initiatives like "Universities for Sustainable Development" in Europe are digitizing the implementation of the 2030 Agenda in universities. Rankings like THE University Impact Rankings highlight institutions excelling in SDG efforts. Achieving these goals requires bold action from all sectors of society, with universities playing a pivotal role.
