Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Universities can (and many do) engage in research and education to meet local, regional and global needs for a sustainable future. They also do so in their community engagement activities. There are multiple ways for universities and other HEIs to engage with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). How they choose to act will depend on their size, context, research focus and educational strengths, funding availability, priorities and the needs of the communities they serve. This report outlines general concepts and practical cases and examples highlighting the nexus between collaboration and SDG-related work at HEIs based on activities and experiences from the Vinnova funded AGERA-project. We hope that the report will contribute and inspire universities as well as other stakeholders to strengthen their collaborative capacity to contribute to Agenda 2030.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper undertakes the concept of universities as role models for sustainability, regenerative sustainability and universities as living laboratories through a case study from University of Gothenburg and the implementation of the climate strategy. The climate strategy is a comprehensive university-wide strategy, including collaboration between faculty, administration and management, as well as with external stakeholders. With the support of its environmental management system (EMS), the University of Gothenburg manages climate action with a systematic approach, both in implementation and follow-up. This creates opportunities for technical solutions and social learning processes, and allows the University of Gothenburg to serve as a living laboratory and a role model for sustainability. The climate strategy was initiated 2011 and by the end of 2015 the target to reduce total carbon emissions by 20% was almost reached with a reduction of 18.5% compared with the baseline year 2008. The total energy use was reduced by 19%. These results were achieved even though the university revenues, staff/employees as well as students has increased from the year 2008 to 2015.
