Re-Defining Sustainability: A Higher Education Perspective for Post 2030 by ESG & Sustainability Working Group
The current Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) end in 2030, what comes next? Are these goals sufficient to drive commitment to a just, prosperous, and sustainable future?
The Digital Education Council ESG & Sustainability Working Group (2025) has led a global initiative to shape the post-2030 sustainability agenda from a higher education perspective. This Executive Briefing will present the key findings of the resulting report — Re-Defining Sustainability: A Higher Education Perspective for Post-2030.
Developed with the support of 44 institutions across 25 countries and regions, the report highlights:
- Emerging sustainability priorities for the post-2030 agenda
- Current institutional commitments and progress
- Innovative sustainability initiatives shaping the sector
- Key sustainability performance drivers
Together, these insights help redefine and advance the sustainability agenda through the lens of higher education.
