The aim of this paper is to discuss the process of the constitution of the Sustainable Development Goals and, by extension, present how the scientific community has been collaborating with its legitimization and adoption. Specifically, we will explore and contextualize the 2030 Agenda and its relationship with the scientific community, presenting an overview of the field, as well as providing recommendations and directions for future research. Methodologically, the manuscript shares an exploratory approach and is carried out through bibliographic reviews and bibliometric analysis. The main results found are: most of the published studies analyzed originate from North-Global countries; there has been a quantitative growth regarding the number of publications made in the period consulted, especially between the years 2019-2021; regarding the types of studies identified, case studies on experiences implemented in the university environment stand out, as well as studies that address the social commitment of this community in relation to the SDGs; as for research collaboration, there is a predominance among countries of the Global North, with sporadic collaborations between countries of the Global North-South and the Global South-South.

“…Entre os motivos, destacam-se as constantes mudanças na política educacional, as demandas do setor produtivo, as flutuações na demanda por cursos, as renovadas necessidades e as expectativas dos alunos. Isto tem feito com que estas instituições se lancem à busca de um gerenciamento estratégico (MARUYAMA et al, 2020).…”

“…Atividades socialmente responsáveis ajudam na construção da imagem, do capital reputacional favorável e podem contribuir para com a melhoria nas negociações com os fornecedores, com os clientes e com o governo, além de reforçar a ligação com a comunidade local e com os colaboradores (OLIVEIRA, 2012). Esse cenário de cobranças e pressões externas por práticas sociais que evidenciam a responsabilidade social das empresas encontra-se, também, nas Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) que são focadas na educação e na formação de seres humanos (MARUYAMA et al, 2020).…”

The growing concern with issues related to the promotion of social responsibility principles is directly related to corporate image. As they are privileged training spaces, higher education institutions are environments in which everyday actions allow the incorporation of responsible practices that naturally develop a new social, moral, and ethical actions. In this sense, the present study aims to understand the type of influence that social responsibility exerts on the corporate image of higher education institutions. For that, quantitative research was carried out, using a structured questionnaire. Data processing occurred through the statistical structural equation modeling (SEM) technique, based on the covariance matrix (CM). The research findings offer relevant reflections for decision makers at higher education institutions, in the search for the improvement of methods that enlarge a good perception of the corporate image and aspects of social responsibility, contributing to create or strengthen these constructs that become differentials competitive in the sector, in addition to promoting social well-being.

“…The high-quality academic or research outputs provide theoretical foundations or guidelines to enhance the environmental governance status and offer resources, benefits, policies, and countermeasures to decrease environmental governance pressure. On the contrary, the research output of higher education (such as the byproducts of chemical experiments like wastewater and residue) directly pollutes the environment, decreases the environment quality, and increases the burden of environmental governance response; some controversial or even unethical academic output is likely to decrease the state of the environment and hinder the quality of environmental governance responsive actions [3,5,6,45,53].…”

“…The relationship between higher education and environmental governance is complicated [1]; however, it is unclear how they interact and achieve benign and coordinated growth. Previous studies have revealed their complicated relations; on the one hand, higher education can impact environmental governance positively and negatively: better higher education quality will provide better knowledge, skills, human resources, and equipment to enhance environmental governance effectiveness [2][3][4]; however, the development of the higher education sector will occupy local resources such as annual budgets, land, and human capitals, which will occupy the resources of environmental governance and decrease its performance [5,6]. On the other hand, environmental governance can impact higher education positively and negatively: environmental governance enhances the local environment, which increases the attractiveness and competitiveness of the local higher education sectors [6,7]; however, environmental governance requires stricter environmental regulations, which make some laboratories with high environmental pollutions in burden [8].…”

Exploring the coupling coordination mechanism between higher education and environmental governance is conducive to understanding the mutual interactions between them and thus enhancing mutual development. This study constructs the coupling coordination mechanism and the aggregated evaluation index system to measure the mutual coordination relations between them, assesses the performances and the coupling coordination degrees between them in the case of western provincial regions in China, and proposes countermeasures based on the prediction results. It is found that the performances of higher education are relatively more stable than those of environmental governance, and the distributions of the average performance grades exist noticeable geographical differences. Besides, the coupling coordination degrees increase with mild fluctuations with relatively small spatial variations, demonstrating the balanced and similar coordinated development status among regions; furthermore, in the future, the gaps in the coordination status among regions will gradually decline. This study highlights the mutual coordination mechanism between the two subsystems, compares the coupling coordination status among regions both temporally and spatially, and proposes specific, generalizable development suggestions that contribute to the academic sector, policymakers, ecology, and sustainability.
