Recognition of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as the ‘best hope we have’ to achieve positive change, and the role of universities in leading such change, has inspired a new partnership between University World News’ SDGs Hub, a key resource on sustainability for the global higher education sector, and the International Higher Education Teaching and Learning Association (HETL).
A global online network of over 500,000 higher education professionals and thought leaders from over 180 countries in six continents, HETL aims to advance the scholarship and practice of teaching and learning.
HETL, a non-profit organisation, has achieved special consultative status with the United Nations, and has made the promotion of rights, democracy and sustainability a key focus of its activities.
In support of academic and pedagogical pluralism, HETL works with individual educators as well as educational institutions, associations, centres, and other educational groups.
HETL has underlined its commitment to sustainability with a series of publications under the banner of Innovations in Higher Education, Teaching and Learning (which includes 50 individual titles) and more recently another book series focused on implementing SDGs in higher education named Global Perspectives on Higher Education Development.
HETL has published several volumes of SDG research from higher education faculty and leaders worldwide through its book series, such as Integrating Sustainable Development into the Curriculum and Introduction to Sustainable Development Leadership and Strategies in Higher Education.
Additionally, HETL’s publications titled Frontiers and Sustainable Futures focus on current developments on SDGs from higher education faculty and leaders.
Alongside this, work published in the internationally peer-reviewed Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education by HETL, and organised by the association, seek to bring together industry leaders to develop and introduce sustainable strategies in higher education.
