Abstract:
Universities play a crucial role in the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the core of knowledge creation and talent cultivation, universities not only promote social progress through research, teaching, campus management, and social impact, but also fulfill multiple functions of social responsibility. Hundreds of millions of people around the world receive general education, professional training, and career development in universities, which makes universities uniquely positioned and widely influential in promoting Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). This study aims to analyze the key role of universities around the world in promoting SDG-oriented education, with a particular focus on how universities can enhance students' knowledge and skills and develop their sustainable development mindset through their teaching and learning services. By synthesizing cases of ESD practices in universities in different regions around the world, this study explores the impact of ESD activities on students' sustainability awareness and competence in diverse educational contexts, in order to promote a comprehensive transformation and integration of universities around the globe as they address the challenges of sustainable development.
