“…On the other hand, activities promoting sustainability have traditionally not been valued in teachers' curricula [12,74]. In fact, one of the issues that has been denounced has been the lack of support for this type of initiative [12,74]. Professors involved in such initiatives sometimes work in an uncoordinated manner and suffer from isolation.…”

“…Professors involved in such initiatives sometimes work in an uncoordinated manner and suffer from isolation. This is why it is crucial to create collaborative networks between teachers and connect them with other actors involved in the development of SDGs [74]. In this sense, in our opinion, it is urgent to create learning communities that on the one hand seek the training of teachers and on the other constitute a coordination space that includes the affective dimension among teachers interested in the development of SDGs.…”

“…Global Dimension Engineering Education (GDEE). It was an initiative, funded by European Union, that seeks to develop the skills of teachers in the field of higher education, the creation of networks of teachers and researchers related to these issues and the connection between professionals in the field of higher education and non-governmental organizations [74,76]. Other initiatives, such as the education for development strategy of Valencia (Spain) invite collaboration between all actors, taking into account the university [77].…”

Teaching for a Better World. Sustainability and Sustainable Development Goals in the Construction of a Change-Maker University

Sustainability, as a key concept in the education field, has submitted a relevant change during the last years. Thus, there is a growing debate about its meaning. It has undergone a crucial merging of significances from many fields: Ecology, environmental awareness, but also from politics, ethics or even spiritual approaches. All these fields have been co-involved in the building of such subject concept. In this sense, this article addresses the different ways of understanding sustainability as a polyhedral concept and how sustainability can be understood under the umbrella of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, it is proposed a conceptual framework to teach this UN Program at Higher Education, contributing to the training of undergraduate and postgraduate students from both a professional and a personal point of view. This framework is applied in a case study-in particular, in a course of Primary Teacher Degree called Didactics of Matter and Energy. This article finishes with practical consideration to build a change-maker University.

The pursuit of sustainable development goals (SDGs) extends beyond governmental responsibility, demanding active engagement from businesses and managers. This study systematically reviews SDG‐related research within the fields of business and management to elucidate their roles in advancing this global agenda. By analyzing a corpus of pertinent studies from Scopus and Web of Science through bibliometric–content analysis, this study not only identifies publication trends, prominent contributors, theories, contexts, and methods but also uncovers the evolving roles of businesses and managers in driving the SDGs. The main themes emerging from this analysis include (1) forging sustainable partnerships, practices, and policies, reflecting businesses' role in stakeholder collaboration and policymaking; (2) addressing contemporary sustainability challenges like artificial intelligence and the dynamics of emerging economies; (3) balancing economic advancement with environmental sustainability, highlighting businesses' impact on ecological footprints and the importance of green finance; (4) integrating financial development considerations with ecological responsibility; (5) promoting equity and well‐being, underscoring the influence of businesses and managers on societal welfare; and (6) shaping governance frameworks for sustainable production and consumption. These themes collectively paint a comprehensive picture of how business and management practices are crucial in achieving the SDGs, offering insights into current contributions, and charting potential pathways for future research and implementation.
