title: What Sustainability? Higher Education Institutions' Pathways to Reach the Agenda 2030 Goals
abstract: Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have the mandate of promoting sustainability through addressing the Agenda 2030. However, how this is being understood and framed in both discourse and practice by HEIs remains an underexplored issue. This article interrogates the concept of sustainability embraced by ten key HEIs networks at global and regional levels while identifying and discussing the main pathways for action displayed. We rely on HEIs networks' data from available online documents related to the Agenda 2030. "Greening" is the dominant sustainability discourse among the global and many regional HEIs networks, that is, the one that refers to the links between people, planet and profit. Two other discourses are minor and regional, "resilience" and "alternative" The "alternative" discourse is the only one entailing a critical approach to the Agenda 2030 goals. All networks promote changes in HEIs organizational culture to embed sustainability values in strategic planning, academic and managerial work. Yet there is a need for further engagement with society to readdress HEIs societal role. Deep and critical reflection of the worldviews, contradictions and tensions in the discourses and practices proposed by HEIs networks at global and regional scales is also needed to build common pathways toward sustainability.

title: UNESCO Global Geoparks in Latin America and the Caribbean, and Their Contribution to Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals
abstract: It is important to assess whether UNESCO Global Geoparks (UGGps) fulfill their commitment to support the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) established by Agenda 2030. This work proposes a method of assessing the UGGps' contribution to SDGs. A questionnaire was distributed among inhabitants of the four Latin American UGGps (Araripe UGGp in Brazil, Grutas del Palacio UGGp in Uruguay, and Comarca Minera UGGp and Mixteca Alta UGGp in Mexico) responses indicated the expectations of the local communities and recorded that these four geoparks are helping to meet some of the SDGs, although not necessarily the same SDGs as those predicted by the UNESCO for geoparks in general. On one hand, the importance of this work lies in its contribution to analysis of the characteristics and challenges of specific UGGps in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) On the other hand, it establishes a basis for effective analysis of the contribution of geoparks in general to sustainable development.

title: Estado e gerenciamento da educacao para o desenvolvimento sustentavel: recomendacoes do capital expressas na Agenda 2030
abstract: This paper's aim is to analyze the trends announced in the Agenda 2030 regarding the implementation of its so called sustainable development. Based on the analysis of two documents: Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development e Education 2030: Incheon Declaration and Framework for Action for the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 4, we point out which are the tasks attributed to the State and the education reforms proposed in this project of development. The evidences indicate that the Agenda 2030 is set on transforming the sustainability into a vector of development and prioritize the alleviation of extreme poverty. Its proposals for education emphasize strategies of monitoring of results, of increaseing the privatization process and the appreciation of best practices. The State's role is reoriented to support public private partnerships, regulation, accountability, standardization and data sourcing to global governance.

title: Making sustainability in occupational therapy visible by relating to the Agenda 2030 goals A case description of a Swedish university
abstract: Occupational therapy has a lot to contribute to sustainable development considering the discipline's occupational focus and knowledge. This has been recognised by researchers and professional associations, but there is still a scarcity of research explicitly mentioning sustainability. Relevant contributions may be identified by relating education and research to the Agenda 2030 sustainable development goals. The aim of this article was to describe explicit and implicit inclusion of sustainable development and Agenda 2030 goals in occupational therapy education and research at one Swedish university. Current course syllabi and study guides, as well as research over the past five year period, were examined and related to sustainability. The results showed that although only a few courses and articles were explicitly related to sustainable development, more course and research content became relevant when this content was compared with the sustainable development goals. It can be concluded that sustainability was more extensively addressed than first visible, but further studies including more universities are warranted.

title: Synergien und Zielkonflikte in der Agenda 2030 im Kontext des nachhaltigen Konsums eine systemische Perspektive
abstract: Nachhaltigem Konsum kommt in der offentlichen Debatte seit mehreren Jahrzehnten eine hohe Aufmerksamkeit zu. Dabei stehen haufig individuelle Konsumkonzepte im Mittelpunkt, die aber zur Losung der Probleme einer globalen nachhaltigen Entwicklung nicht entscheidend beitragen konnen. Ein mehr oder weniger nachhaltiges Einzelverhalten reicht nicht aus, und es zeigt sich, dass man eine systemische Perspektive einnehmen muss, um zu einer vollumfanglichen Bewertung heutiger Konsummuster zu kommen. Hierzu bildet die Agenda 2030 aufgrund ihrer Ganzheitlichkeit einen geeigneten Ausgangspunkt. Als eigenstandiges Ziel fur nachhaltige Entwicklung steht SDG 12, ,Nachhaltige Konsum und Produktionsmuster sicherstellen" in einem Zusammenhang mit beinahe allen anderen Zielen der globalen Agenda.

title: Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development: A powerful global framework
abstract: The 2030Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted in 2015 by all nations (of the United Nations) is a powerful universal framework for action to end extreme poverty, fight inequality, foster peace and justice, and protect our planet. The Agenda's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets provide the roadmap to get there. The Agenda emphasizes the roles not only of governments but also of citizens, businesses, civil society organizations, and others as stakeholders in solving our common and globally interrelated challenges. The 2030 Agenda explicitly calls on "all businesses to apply their creativity and innovation to solving sustainable development challenges and meet societies' most pressing problems." It also seeks to strengthen the science policy interface as an evidencebased instrument to support policy makers in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) welcomes the SDGs. Unlike the Millennium Development Goals, they address the root causes of poverty, inequality, environmental degradation, and conflicts by addressing economic, social, and environmental issues in an integratedway. Given the interlinkages among them, UNCTAD contributes to all SDGs but has specific mandated programs on SDGs 17 (partnerships for the Goals and means of implementation trade, capacity building, finance, systemic issues, and data) 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) and 10 (Reduced Inequalities Within and Between Countries)
