This interactive session is intended for senior university leaders responsible
for strategy formulation and government officials actively shaping future higher
education policy. Focused on how institutions and governments can use the SDGs
to drive institutional change and enhance their role in the community, the

Sustainability, ESG and the metaverse: How can simulation enhance learning
outcomes in sustainability curricula and drive organisational change
Fore Hall

Virtual reality has the power to transform. It can help to overcome physical
barriers and imagination gaps by going beyond the limits of the real world. It
can help the audience to see the future, today. As a result, it can help
organisations enhance learning outcomes in sustainability curricula and drive
real organisational change.

In this session, we will explain why the metaverse is key to effecting
behavioural change when it comes to sustainability and social change.

We will dive into where the metaverse is right now, which technologies are
driving it, and the possibilities it could unlock over the coming months and
years. We will draw on case studies from the higher education sector and explore
the growing potential of deploying immersive solutions to unlock enterprise and
ESG (environmental, social and governance) strategies.

How higher education is facilitating circular economies and driving sustainable
futures
Kelvin Gallery

Higher education is at the forefront of creating green economies through
effective collaboration with business, government and society that enable these
stakeholders to think differently about how we use, reuse and dispose of
products. Higher education institutions are generating effective public policy
solutions through greater advocacy of their research.

This panel will give examples of how governments, with the help of higher
education, are creating novel solutions that provide new benefits for all.

Levelling up: Innovations driving resilience and tackling inequalities and
climate change
Kelvin Gallery

The drive to "level up" is a global trend among policymakers with the aim of
creating fairer and more equitable opportunities for all. Without the right
approach, design and implementation of policies, the result can be greater
inequality and environmental degradation. How can universities partner most
effectively with the private sector to support policies that aim to build more
sustainable, safe and healthy communities? This session will explore examples of
best practice and lessons learned.

How to ensure effective leadership and bold action
Kelvin Gallery

Climate change is with us and the window to mitigate negative effects is
closing. Collectively, big steps and bold actions are required to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and environmental destruction. Ensuring that
policymakers have the right data and support from business, society and higher
education is key to effective leadership, but leadership is different across the
globe, from local, to national and international levels.

 * Is there a model of effective delivery that can be used across all
   environments?
 * What approaches are being adopted by business, society and higher education
   to support policymakers and what more can be done?

This session will explore examples from across the globe and what happens when
policymakers have the ambition, data and support to make change.

How big business is driving the sustainable revolution
Kelvin Gallery

Just 100 global fossil fuel producers are responsible for 71 per cent of the
world’s greenhouse gas emissions over the past three decades. Ensuring accurate,
timely and effective monitoring and disclosure of these emissions will be
central to forging a green economy in the 21st century. With the support of
government and society, what role can higher education play in holding these
companies accountable and driving down emissions?

This panel will review innovative ways in which more than 1,000 businesses, with
the support of their communities and driven by research and innovation from
higher education and incentives from government, have collectively set some
US$23 trillion worth of emissions-reduction goals that line up with the Paris
Agreement.

SDG 17: Inclusive partnerships to achieve the SDG 2030 agenda in a post-Covid
era


The SDGs can only be achieved with strong global partnerships and cooperation.
Universities are uniquely placed to lead the cross-sectoral implementation of
the SDGs and advance the 2030 agenda. A successful development agenda requires
inclusive global, regional, national and local partnerships built on principles
and values, and on a shared vision that places people and the planet at the
centre. These sessions explore the strong international cooperation that is
needed for higher education institutions to ensure that countries have, now more
than ever, the means to recover from the pandemic, build back better and achieve
the SDGs.

Universities as drivers of research to build a sustainable future


Research provided by the global academic community has formed the basis for
society to make gains in life expectancy, poverty reduction and global health
over the past century. Universities continue to be at the forefront of driving
the critical progress needed to deliver an inclusive, equitable and sustainable
future. Effective implementation of sustainability-related policies,
partnerships and collaborations is key, and has the potential to impact local
communities and the world.

In this session, three university leaders will explain how they are engaged in
delivering a more sustainable future. They will reflect on how universities can
shorten the research-and-innovation cycle to deliver a more sustainable future
for society, examine what role international and cross-sector collaborations
play in their sustainability approach, and discuss why university leadership
needs to be thinking about societal impact.

THE white paper: Beyond the sector - how university partnerships are
accelerating progress towards the SDGs


By producing cutting-edge research and teaching the sustainability champions of
the future, universities are at the forefront of the fight for a sustainable
planet. But the challenge is a huge one and, to have a substantial impact,
universities must look beyond the sector and partner with organisations
elsewhere. Analysis of THE’s unique Impact Rankings dataset shows how
universities are performing against each of the SDGs. To achieve the goals
defined by the UN, universities must demonstrate productive engagement with all
sectors of society. No significant progress can be made by any sector in
isolation, and the purpose of the THE Impact Rankings is to highlight the role
that universities play in this.

This session will launch THE’s white paper that showcases several types of
collaboration – between research, industry and government – and how they are
driving effective change.

SDG futures: The role of young people in galvanising support for SDGs


Galvanising the passion and enthusiasm of young people to save the planet
through sustainable solutions is vital for achieving the SDGs. Yet often their
voices are overlooked or not heard by institutions and governments despite their
generations having to live with the consequences of inaction.

This session will bring together young people active in promoting SDG solutions
across the world and explore the ways in which they inspire other young people
to take action.
