Higher education institutions (HEIs) are notable promoters of sustainable development (SD). Thus, it is understood that the sustainable development goals 2015–2030 (SDGs) need to be substantially operationalized in these institutions. Based on this idea, the QualEnv (quality and environment) consortium of universities stands out for having as its main objective the increase in contribution to sustainable development (SD) by universities through the implementation of systematic environmental practices and quality processes in line with the SDGs. The objective of this article is to present how the QualEnv consortium of HEIs adopts the SDGs and demonstrates their contribution to SD. For this purpose, a qualitative analysis was performed based on documentary research, a systematic review of the literature, and notes collected from participant observations. The results show that the adoption of the SDGs in the QualEnv consortium was enhanced by the contribution of the social relations within the partnership, which promoted the exchange of experiences and synergy between participants that promoted improvements in the necessary strategies. Along with the highlighted actions and concentration of different axes with dispersed interventions, a potential for central cohesion and focus on evolution in each SDG was noted. The adoption of the same indicators involves the unification of the actions planned for the SD and the common objective of involving communities more consistently, which impacts mainly SDG 04. This article discusses the practical implications in HEIs and the need to integrate the SDGs into their activities, as it demonstrates how universities belonging to the QualEnv consortium have been creating their own strategies to achieve the 2030 agenda and adopt the SDGs.
Ante as diversas crises humanitárias atuais e aquelas já enfrentadas, faz-se necessário destacar o debate acerca da conciliação do conceito de soberania e da flexibilização do princípio da não intervenção, eis que um dos mais relevantes choques axiológicos do cenário internacional ocorre entre os conceitos de soberania e direitos humanos. O presente artigo busca, portanto, abordar o conflito entre os conceitos de intervenção humanitária e soberania a fim de demonstrar a possível – e necessária – flexibilização do princípio da não intervenção. Por fim, apreciar-se-á o conceito, bem como a legalidade e a legitimidade do instituto da intervenção humanitária com objetivo de sustentar a ideia de que a comunidade internacional tem o direito, e até mesmo o dever, de realizá-las.
