Sustainable development has become an increasingly significant concept in higher education. According to the Brundtland report, it is defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The three core pillars of sustainable development are environment, society, and economy.

In the context of sustainable development goals (SDGs), higher education presents a significant challenge. There is a growing interest in improving communication between professors, researchers, and students in universities, institutes, and colleges.

This research book aims to cover all aspects of higher education for sustainable development goals. It includes topics such as eradicating poverty, achieving zero hunger, promoting good health and well-being, providing quality education, achieving gender equality, ensuring access to clean water and sanitation, promoting affordable and clean energy, creating decent work and economic growth, fostering industry, innovation, and infrastructure, reducing inequalities, promoting sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, combating climate action, protecting life below water and on land, promoting peace, justice, and strong institutions and partnerships.

By addressing these issues, higher education can play a crucial role in achieving the SDGs and creating a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
