HESI 2024 Global Forum: the future of higher education for sustainable development
15 July 2024 hora: 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm
The Higher Education Sustainability Initiative (HESI) is a partnership between several United Nations entities and the higher education community. For 2024-2025, the Initiative is chaired by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the UNESCO International Institute for Higher Education in Latin America and the Caribbean (IESALC), the United Nations University, and the Sulitest Association.
Each year, HESI organizes a global forum as a special event of the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) – the United Nations’ main platform for the follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at the global level – to highlight the critical role of higher education in achieving sustainable development.
Join us, on July 15, at the 2024 HESI Global Forum, which will feature the theme “The Future of Higher Education for Sustainable Development”. This special event of the High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development will feature a multi-stakeholder discussion on the intersection of education, innovation and sustainability, with an emphasis on the impact of AI and other technologies.
In this regard, UNESCO IESALC will be present with the different initiatives it is advancing to have a greener, innovative higher education, linked to youth and different stakeholders, ensuring quality, inclusive and lifelong learning. The forum will also showcase inspiring initiatives from the UN system and HESI action groups, highlighting the role of higher education in advancing the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
