Universities are undertaking transformation projects that align their work with the Sustainable Development Goals. This paper describes how Ocean I3, an educational innovation project that aims to reduce plastic in the sea, has made an impact on its community over its three editions (2018/19 to 2020/21). Methodologically, it has been approached by the people who make up the technical team and academic coordination as an exploratory study using discrete, non-reactive techniques, mainly from the public domain (websites, blogs, press releases, etc.), and instruments, such as field notes and work material to manage, organize, and train within the project. The analytical procedure has represented a dynamic and systematic process of categorisation. The results highlight the repercussion of the project in terms of capstone projects, master’s thesis, coursework, etc., produced by the students involved; association with employability; collaborative work from the teaching teams; monitoring experience for research purposes, and social dissemination of the project. It concludes by suggesting lines for Ocean I3 to work on in the future to make its footprint sustainable in institutions over time.

AbstractThe paper describes a curriculum innovation project for integrating the sustainability-oriented socio-scientific issue of phosphate recovery into undergraduate chemistry education. Justification for the topic is derived from the importance of responsible use of phosphates as fertilizers for achieving some of the sustainable development goals issued by the United Nations in 2015, but also by the consideration of the phosphorus biochemical flow into the environment in the concept of the world’s planetary boundaries. Integration of the topic into undergraduate general chemistry was operated by a digital learning environment providing the base for a transdisciplinary approach towards the topic. Findings are reported from an implementation case in a research university in the USA.

AbstractArtificial intelligence is producing a revolution with increasing impacts on the people, planet, and prosperity. This perspective illustrates some of the AI applications that can accelerate the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and highlights some of the considerations that could hinder the efforts towards them. In this context, we strongly support the development of an 18thSDG on digital technologies. This emphasizes the importance of establishing standard AI guidelines and regulations for the beneficial applications of AI. Such regulations should focus on concrete applications of AI, rather than generally on AI technology, to facilitate both AI development and enforceability of legal implications.

The current communication shows the experience that is developed between DIHMA-UPV and DIEC-IST professors. This project is focused on the development of bachelor’s and master's thesis focused on improving the Sustainable Development Goals in undevoloped areas, particularly in the case of energy access and its generation through renewable hybrid systems. The development of this experience can be carried out thanks to the updating of asynchronous learning applied methodologies. It is since the students come from degrees, which have only acquired basic learning results in hydraulics or electricity. The development of the activity and its coordination between professors from both universities is established through the use of faculty stays at Erasmus + STA.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) were introduced in 2015 by the United Nations and include 17 goals and 169 actions on how to achieve a more sustainable future. This research addresses the SDG 10, which focuses on the reduction of inequalities. By 2030 the goal is to achieve reduced income inequalities, opportunity inequalities and all other forms which might hinder equal chances. The United Nations has already introduced financial and economic measures on how to achieve equality. The aim of this review paper is to challenge the current approaches by emphasizing that too little attention is paid on the people themselves. The goal achievement will require working groups of diverse nationalities, backgrounds, tenures and values. This research presents why it is essential to include diversity research in the work and how this can influence group processes and outcomes, such as conflict, performance or group commitment.

General Guidance

Peace is an invaluable asset to ensure the prosperity and harmony of a nation. With the existence of peace, the people in a nation can carry out their respective responsibilities and roles perfectly, which consequently further enhance the nation prosperity. There are numbers of Western orientalists suggested that Islam is a religion that advocates violence. While in actuality, Islam uphold the preservation of peace and security at the utmost importance. This calls for a comprehensive argument to properly present the adherence of Islam towards maintaining harmony and prosperity. Therefore, the objective of this study is to highlight the existence of peace preservation in the Islamic concept of Maqāsid Syariah and draw the similarity on the definition of peace in Maqāsid Syariah with UN Guidelines for Sustainable Development Goals (Sustainable Development Goals). The research adopted library research methodology to accentuate the concept of peace preservation in the five elements of Maqāsid Syariah by using textual and contextual analysis on available literature pertaining the subject matter. The results show that the peace preservation of the nation is an integral piece in the concept of Maqāsid Syariah. National peace preservation is the key to maintain the five elements of Maqāsid Syariah which are religion, intellect, self, heritage and wealth. In addition, Maqāsid Syariah delineates peace keeping at the highest priority in maslaḥah requirement.  Furthermore, Maqāsid Syariah demonstrates a compelling correlation in its definition of peace with the characteristic sustainable development goals (SDCs) outlined by the United Nations (UN). The importance of this study is to give a general guidance on preservation and maintenance of national peace according to the shariah objectives, which have a strong relationship among them.

Abstract The bottom-line for businesses is to earn profit or maximize the wealth of its shareholders. It is a matter of great debate, who comes across that slogan. Sampran Riverside, however, has been a successful business model for Thailand, which has been known as the maximizer of its customers’ wealth as well as health, by an extensive production of organic products through organic farming and food, subsequently spreading it through cultural and tourism activities. Present study is a qualitative case study that describes how the Sampran riverside grew into an environment- friendly model from a conventional business entity. The study revealed how the business transformed and reached success through the constructive learning process. A detailed study showed that organic farming helps society to grow healthy and also creates economic opportunities for the people. Site visits of the business and organic fields, as well visit of organic markets and interviews with the farmers, customers and the CEO of the Sampran Riverside, concluded that organic farming serves the society in a holistic way by providing social, environmental, economic and health benefits at one platform, eventually, contributing in community and societal development. The study also concluded that through this development, the Riverside contributes in meeting some of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Adopting this model may pave the way for sustainable development in the society which will help country in long run. Key Words: Community development, constructive learning, organic farming, SDGs, societal benefits.

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) deliver a long list for UN Member countries to do, especially in the legal and regulatory frameworks. UN SDGs contain many kinds of human needs aspect, and it is not easy to regulate all through the conventional legislative process. It raises the needs of the omnibus bill use. This article studied the opportunities and the urgency of the omnibus bill use to solve this problem. The author uses a doctrinal method with literature studies to examine how SDGs can be obtained with the use of the omnibus bill. The omnibus bill has the potential to help countries achieve the UN SDGs. In the implementation stage, the author found that it is a normal phenomenon that a political will contains economic interests in the adaptation process, likewise, with the omnibus bill case in several countries. However, it does not erase the fact that there has been a wave of resistance in its implementation due to people's unpreparedness in accepting changes brought by the political policies that are contained in the controversial omnibus bill. Therefore, the government must ensure that the omnibus bill is open to the change opportunities demanded by the people to improve the omnibus bill.

Multiple Actors

Sustainable development and smart city have been two key concepts that are mentioned and referred to in any discussion on our cities. Today, more than half of the people live in cities, and the problems that we face in urban areas ranging from climate change to transportation, from waste management to communicable diseases, threaten the future of our cities and next generations. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the world leaders at the UN Summit in 2015 in order to save our planet, our generation, and next generations. As the problem is global, the solution needs to be global; and as the problem is a result of multiple actors, the solution needs to be provided by the collaboration of multiple stakeholders. Smart city has emerged as a concept that offers several solutions to the urban problems, which also overlap with most of the targets listed in the SDGs. In this chapter, the contribution of smart city technologies to the achievement of the SDGs is analysed through the in-depth case study of Istanbul, a mega city with a population of around 16 million.

The United Nations has published the Sustainable Development Goals, which it aspires to achieve by 2030. The goals aspire to end poverty and hunger, build dignity, and create an inclusive, safe, and environmentally sound society. To much of the world community, markets are the problem, not the solution. This chapter argues the contrary; namely, that markets properly harnessed to work for development and for the people are an essential prong in the plan to end poverty, hunger, and exclusion by empowering people to help themselves. It shows how Competition Law in the service of markets helps to achieve these goals.
