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 2025 ESG & Sustainability Working Group has launched the Re-Defining Sustainability: A Higher Education Perspective for Post-2030 Report.

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.
