“…Historically, the 'Declaration of Talloires' was established in 1990 to discuss the role of universities towards contributing to and achieving future sustainability through various actions, namely increased awareness, knowledge, stakeholder involvement, and more (Zutshi & Creed, 2018), a situation that seemed to place universities passive participants, and which media can articulate among university students (Tursynbayeva, 2020). After that, international conferences in launching and promoting higher education, such as the conference entitled "Committing Universities to Sustainable Development," were organized in Austria in 2005 to discuss universities' role in supporting sustainable development (Paletta et al, 2019). During this particular conference, the Graz Declaration on Committing Universities to Sustainable Development was accepted under the agreement that universities should provide information about the status of sustainable development within their strategies and activities (Paletta et al, 2019), which signifies universities growing active involvement in sustainability issues (Amaral et al, 2020).…”

Numerous universities have promoted a sustainable university's brand by offering sustainability curricula, conducting sustainability studies, enforcing sustainable policies, etc. As such, sustainable universities take advantage of the opportunity to market these activities to attract potential students. This research explores international students' perception towards the sustainable brand of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) and choosing a sustainable university. The study further examines the influence of factors in choosing USM regarding being USM a sustainable university. A survey was conducted involving 391 international students, using a self-assessment questionnaire followed by collecting and analysing the data using PLS-SEM. The results discovered positive relationships between brand image and brand meaning of USM as a sustainable university regarding students' intention in choosing USM. Aside from that, USM's credibility, informativeness, entertainment, and irritation of information affected students' intention to study at USM. In contrast, the study found that both the perception of USM as a sustainable university and the brand identity of USM as a sustainable university had an antagonistic relationship towards students' intention to study at USM.

“…Several authors have identified the critical importance of aligning the work done in different sectors to achieve the SDGs [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49]. For example, Rosati and Faria [44] studied how different companies aligned their corporate social responsibility-related activities with the SDGs and found that companies operating in countries with a high level of climate vulnerability are more SDG-aligned.…”

“…SIBs are a hybrid arrangement between social and financial institutions that creates a unique platform to support public-private partnerships between different sectoral actors working collaboratively to achieve the SDGs [45]. Several other studies take a similar sectoral focus making cases for the SDGs in education [42,43,48], in addressing the needs of women [46], for rehabilitating vulnerable communities [47], across value chains [49,50], and in the banking sector [51].…”

Perceptions of Multistakeholder Partnerships for the Sustainable Development Goals: A Case Study of Irish Non-State Actors

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The United Nations 2030 Agenda emphasizes the importance of multistakeholder partnerships for achieving the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Indeed, Goal 17 includes a target for national governments to promote multistakeholder partnerships between state and non-state actors. In this paper, we explore how members of civil society organizations and the private sector perceive both the possibilities and challenges of multistakeholder partnerships evolving in Ireland for achieving the SDGs. The research uses data gathered during 2018 and includes documentary research, participant observations of stakeholder forums in Ireland and the United Nations, and semi-structured interviews to address related questions. The results demonstrate that numerous challenges exist for forming multistakeholder partnerships for the SDGs, including a fragmented understanding of the Goals. They also note previous examples of successful multistakeholder partnership models, the need for more leadership from government, and an overly goal-based focus on SDG implementation by organizations as major impediments to following a multistakeholder partnership approach in the country. These findings suggest that although Goal 17 identifies multistakeholder partnerships as essential for the SDGs, they are challenging to form and require concerted actions from all state and non-state actors for SDG implementation.

“…Las alianzas público privadas sirven de base en los planes de desarrollo de los países, organizan para propósitos comunes, para Paletta, A., Fava, F., Ubertini, F., Bastioli, C., Gregori, G., La Camera, F., & Douvan, A. R. (2019), las APP cumplen con su función de asociatividad entre las Universidades, las industrias y desarrollo sostenible, logrando respuestas fortalecidas por estos estamentos, ejemplo de aplicación se da en el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente del G7 de 2017, bajo la Presidencia italiana que tuvo lugar en Bolonia, Italia, del 11 al 12 de junio de 2017, donde los representantes de Universidades e trabajo de Horner, S., Jayawarna, D., Giordano, B., & Jones, O. (2019), aplicado a 115 universidades del Reino Unido reconoce que la infraestructura de la organización de soporte es necesaria pero no suficiente para explicar la eficacia de la transferencia de tecnología, el papel del empresa privada alienada con objetivos estatales como mediador estratégico, esta relación de mediación entre la alineación estratégica y la efectividad de la transferencia de tecnología está moderada por la amplitud de los esfuerzos de planificación estratégica, con aquellas universidades que involucran a un mayor número de profesores en los esfuerzos de planificación estratégica que se benefician más de la alineación entre las opciones estratégicas y la infraestructura de apoyo de la organización.…”
