With SDG 4.7 calling for all learners to acquire the knowledge and skills to promote sustainable development, the aim of the “Putting education for the SDGs into practice for Higher Education” forum is to share how higher education institutions in our region are progressing towards putting this ambitious goal into practice, and to inspire and support the sector to accelerate action.
This high-level session will bring together leaders from within and outside the Higher Ed sector to discuss the range of skills the region needs now in order to be able to transition to a sustainable economy and society, the key role the Higher Ed sector plays in providing these, and what more the sector could be doing to accelerate action.
