“…Transformations required in this panorama should promote the Goal achievements, such as eradicating poverty, increasing health care and well-being, helping individuals to be responsible consumers, adopting positive measures in relation to climate and encouraging creation of peaceful societies (Rocha et al , 2019). To be successful, the higher educational institutions must focus their efforts on their three educational goals: teaching and learning, scientific research and community service.…”

Purpose Population worldwide has experienced several challenges related to sustainable development, such as scarcity of natural resource, unsustainable consumption, poverty, injustice, violence, social inequality and natural disaster (including floods, tsunami and landslide). These issues interfere in sustainable development and target to achieve societal balance, structuring without compromising economic and environmental resources of future generations. The higher educational institutions are included in this context because they play a role in professional training and in education to promote sustainable practices. The higher educational institutions can assume a prominent position in the 2030 Agenda implementation for sustainable development of the United Nations, especially in the Goals 4 and 10, quality education and reduced inequalities, respectively. The purpose of this research study aims to develop a literature review and analyze the higher educational and sustainable themes, involving the Brazilian scenario. Design/methodology/approach This research study develops a literature review based on researches that involve higher educational and sustainable themes in the Brazilian scenario. Inclusion criteria are papers in English, with the search equations in their titles, and peer-reviewed papers. Paper publication year was not an exclusion criterion. This research aimed to understand opportunity and challenge processes in the Brazilian higher educational institutions and their actions, so that the Sustainable Development Goals are completely achieved and the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development is fulfilled. For this, a research central question was established: What are the opportunities and the challenges to achieve the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development in the Brazilian higher education? Findings A total of 636 papers were recovered. The “Higher Education AND Opportunities,” “Higher Education AND Challenge,” “Higher Education AND Challenges,” “Higher Education AND Opportunity,” “Brazilian AND Higher Education” and “Brazil AND Higher Education” search equations found, respectively, 165, 146, 131, 74, 62 and 25 papers, involving 94.8% of the total number of the papers found. The papers recovered enabled the vision of five clusters: policy; inclusion; culture; relationship; and environment, society and economy. The paper analyses found that innovation process, sustainable practical implementation and holistic look, involving professors and students, can allow the 2030 Agenda achievement. Originality/value The authors of this research study presented a framework based on the literature analyzed through five clusters: policy; inclusion; culture; relationship; and environment, society and economy, considered from opportunity and challenge perspectives. The authors introduced and discussed the Brazilian higher educations and their opportunities and challenges. The Brazilian panorama was linked with the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, in specific, with the Goals 4 and 10. Implications of this research study are related to the higher educational opportunities and challenges in policy, inclusive, cultural, sustainable and relationship contexts, involving governmental and nongovernmental sectors, professors and students for the Brazilian educational improvement.

“…Several studies emphasize that modern innovations in various stages of life carry a definite potential for the socio-economic development of the territory [6,7,8]. Also, cities, as the most actively technologically developing systems, can become locomotives of sustainable development and adjacent rural territories [9,10,11,12]. This can be ensured by an integrated approach in the regional strategic programs.…”

The article considers modern approaches to ensuring sustainable development of territories. The analysis of publications that set out best practices for harmonizing the socio-economic processes of several regions of the world is carried out. In general, they ensure the satisfaction of the population needs of different localization territories, has been carried out. The empirical part of the study shows the opinion of the regional community of the South of Russia with respect to the possibilities of implementing various approaches to ensure the balanced development of the strategically important territory of Russia. The role of developing regional brands, including rural tourism, for the sustainable development of the Stavropol Territory and improving the quality of life of the population is determined. The competitive potential of the Stavropol Territory, according to the expert community, is focused on the production of grain crops. On the second place are the resort and sanatorium services and opportunities for the development of rural and ethnic tourism. Not enough attention is given to the development of organic food production.

“…According to Haq et al ( 2021 ), the establishment of the 2030 Agenda by the United Nations in 2015, with its 17 SDGs, 169 targets and more than 200 indicators related to the different global challenges in the search for reducing inequalities, environmental impacts, and sustainable technologies, many countries have been taking actions in the quest to fit into these proposals, with some frequency adapting them according to the most critical needs of each location. Although many theorists criticized the 2030 Agenda for having too many goals and lacking prioritization, as mentioned by Rocha and Alexandre Weiss ( 2019 ), unfortunately, air pollution was one issue that was deemphasized. Air pollution’s position in SDGs is cloudy, and while climate change was highlighted in one of the goals (SDG13), there is no headline goal on air pollution.…”

The advance of human activities in a disorderly way has accelerated in recent decades, intensifying the environmental impacts directly linked to these practices. The atmosphere, essential for the maintenance of life, is increasingly saturated with pollutants, offering risks to practically all the inhabitants of the planet, a process that, in addition to causing illness and early mortality, is related to serious financial losses (including in the production of goods), dangerous temperature increase and severe natural disasters. Although this perception is not recent, the global initiative to control the different mechanisms that trigger the commitment of biodiversity and irreversible climate changes arising from pollution is still very incipient, given that global initiatives on the subject emerged just over 50 years ago. Brazil is a territory that centralizes many of these discussions, as it still faces both political and economic obstacles in achieving a sustainable growth model as it was agreed through the United Nations 2030 Agenda. Even though there is little time left for the completion of these goals, much remains to be done, and despite the fulfillment of this deadline, the works will certainly need to be extended for much longer until an effective reorientation of consciousness occurs. Scientific researches and discussions are fundamental tools to the understanding of issues still little explored in this field.
