University NewsSummary: The higher education institutions (HEIs) provide the role models for excellence in education with the added responsibility of providing guidance on social upliftment and environmental sustainability to the community. The sustainability based curricula and cultural change are the keys to mindset transformation. HEIs have an essential role in sustainable development as they are the key agents in the education of future leaders with knowledge that will contribute to the successful United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) implementation. The academics and policymakers consider the HEIs as an enabler for an effective and sustainable transition by organizations and are also the strategic stakeholders in achievement of the SDGs through their initiatives. In this sense, the contributions of HEIs are twofold; one they contribute through their teaching and research activities and secondly they contribute through their strategies and initiatives. The increasing relevance of sustainability has involved the multiple institutions around the globe. According to Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN, 2017), the role of HEIs in the context of SDG implementation is related to their inclusive learning and teaching activities, including undergraduate and graduate teaching, professional training, online learning, cocurricular activities, student clubs and societies. Many HEIs have been proactively trying to action the SDGs in policies, curriculums and practices through the scattered and isolated initiatives.- Reproduced
