Universities for the Sustainable Development Goals:Values,Practices and Reflections
Universities are important for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.This study examines the value of universities as a philosophical construct,as a discourse,and as an educational practice to promote the SDGs.To further advance the achievement of the SDGs,universities need to in-tegrate the concept of sustainability into their curricula,develop SDG-oriented research and innovation,provide high-quality teacher training,and build cross-institutional partnerships and collaborative mech-anisms.Finally,this study points out that the university's goal of promoting sustainable development should not only be adapted to society or advanced as an additional task but also become a beacon to navi-gate and guide the progress of human society.
