- The role of universities in accelerating the sustainable development goals in EuropePublication . Filho, Walter Leal; Sierra, Javier; Price, Elizabeth; Eustachio, João Henrique Paulino Pires; Novikau, Aliaksandr; Kirrane, Maria; Dinis, Maria Alzira Pimenta; Salvia, Amanda LangeThe process of implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which were approved by the UN General Assembly in 2015 has not been simple, being influenced by variety of social, economic, and logistical problems. It has also been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. There are to date no specific studies aimed at assessing the extent to which higher universities institutions in Europe are active in the SDGs implementation process. Departing from this research need, this paper reports on a study aimed at examining the current degree of engagement of European universities in the implementing the SDGs. By using a multi-methods approach, which entails a review of existing documents, a survey involving participants from 22 countries and case studies, the paper maps, documents and disseminates examples of what European universities are doing to implement the SDGs, the challenges they face, and the solutions being deployed to overcome them.
- University rankings and sustainable development: the state of the artPublication . Leal Filho, Walter; Trevisan, Laís; WAHAJ, ZUJAJA; Déda Araújo Nunes, Denner; Vasconcelos, Claudio Ruy Portela de; Dibbern, Thais Aparecida; Ruiz Vargas, Valeria; Iyer-Raniga, Usha; Anholon, Rosley; Novikau, Aliaksandr; Abubakar, Ismaila Rimi; Dinis, Maria Alzira PimentaPurpose In light of the growing emphasis on sustainability in higher education, this paper aims to explore the effectiveness of sustainability university rankings, specifically focusing on sustainable development (SD), to understand their impact on advancing universities’ sustainability goals and address gaps in practical implications and limitations. Design/methodology/approach This study examines sustainability rankings in higher education (HE) through document analysis. Chosen for significance, these rankings were evaluated for regional participation, criteria and the top 20 universities. The method involved scrutinising official ranking websites for diverse perspectives on sustainability. The results are classified into three categories: regional participation, assessment criteria and top universities in the latest iterations. Findings The findings show that sustainability rankings are widely spread, and their existence has led to an increased motivation for universities to further engage in efforts in the field of SD. This study offers suggestions for optimising the role of promoting SD principles and practices in HE. Originality/value This comprehensive assessment sheds light on rankings’ operations and success levels. It makes a significant contribution to the literature, providing an unprecedented overview of analysed rankings and on sustainability assessment and their impact. This analysis will be valuable for universities towards the integration of SD principles and practices into the HE environment.
