Beril Toktay Review This is a timely book, which will provide a concrete support to the debate on SDG17 and on the actions which the higher education community should take in order to pursue its implementation. -- Walter LealAs a book series, Higher Education and the SDGs will make an important contribution to accelerating delivery against the global goals. To start the series with the book on Partnerships for the Goals, possibly the most decisive SDG, makes perfect sense and is highly symbolic since accomplishing the sixteen other ones largely depends on cooperation and collaboration among all relevant stakeholders. This book impressively shows the important role of higher education in teaming up with actors from various other sectors to meet the ambitious aims of the Agenda 2030 collectively. -- Prof. Andreas KaplanThe book series Higher Education and the SDGs will make a valuable contribution to policy dialogue and higher education practices in achieving the SDGs. This first book in the series on Higher Education for Partnerships for the Goals highlights a range of partnerships, discusses some successful partnership cases and explore ways to enhance the impact of higher education partnerships to accelerate progress towards SDGs. -- Qudsia Kalsoom Details ISBN1804557072 Author Ángel Cabrera Publisher Emerald Publishing Limited Series Higher Education and the Sustainable Development Goals Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781804557075 Format Paperback Publication Date 2023-06-22 Imprint Emerald Publishing Limited Subtitle Partnerships for the Goals Place of Publication Bingley Country of Publication United Kingdom Edited by Ángel Cabrera AU Release Date 2023-06-22 NZ Release Date 2023-06-22 UK Release Date 2023-06-22 Pages 192 Alternative 9781804557044 DEWEY 338.9270711 Audience Professional & Vocational ISBN-10 1804557072 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
