Abstract

Sustainable development is a global challenge which requires an innovative approach merging environmental science, economics, policy-making, and artificial intelligence. The data-driven approach using intelligent methodologies is valuable for evaluating and mitigating environmental impacts. This study exploits data from different sources and machine learning methods to analyze key sustainability indicators, focusing on CO2 emissions, ecological footprint, and load capacity factor. The analysis emphasizes advanced feature selection techniques and predictive modelling to identify the most significant economic, industrial, agricultural, and environmental factors that affect sustainability. Comparative analysis shows differences between the importance of indicators established through expert-driven decisions across various scientific fields and AI-driven assessments. The research attempts to solve the problem following a multi-step process: (1) clustering of countries based on environmental indicators to identify patterns and classify according to similar performance; (2) evaluation of the socio-economic and environmental factors’ impact on CO2 emissions using machine learning; (3) predicting future trends in emissions and sustainability metrics through high-level artificial intelligence techniques such as Hidden Markov models. This study will potentially serve policymakers, enabling data-driven decision-making to promote sustainable development efforts. The results demonstrate the value of interdisciplinary approaches to deal with sustainability challenges and to stimulate a balanced path toward economic growth and environmental protection.

Abstract

The Trilha Rupestre (Rocky Trail) Program, developed by the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), aims to strengthen culture and the local economy. It also fosters sustainable development in municipalities with archaeological sites and paleontological records. Focusing on the Cerrado-Pantanal ecological corridor, the program covers 90 rock art sites and 733 archaeological sites registered with the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN) in 16 municipalities. The initiative trains local communities and encourages sustainable practices, contributing to income generation while promoting environmental preservation. Structured around eight thematic axes (food, archaeology, architecture, art-ceramics, botany, geopaleontology, chemistry-pharmaceuticals, and tourism), the program promotes multidisciplinary development, integrating quality education and building more inclusive and sustainable communities. The partnership with the UNESCO Borders and Migration Chair brings a social innovation approach, combining cultural appreciation with the promotion of inclusion. Through educational and cultural actions, the program raises awareness among communities and tourists about the importance of archaeological sites, linking sustainability with the appreciation of historical heritage. The Trilha Rupestre Program is a notable example of how higher education can contribute to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals.

Abstract

This study revisits the Arsaali paradox, and the long-standing conflict rooted in the transformation of Arsaal, the largest village of Lebanon’s arid Hermel region, from a traditional agropastoral landscape into an unlikely mosaic of stone fruit orchards. What initially appeared to be a promising agricultural innovation disrupted the fragile equilibrium of miniature transhumance practiced by tribal herders, whose livelihoods depended on the sparse, endemic flora of the quasi-desert. While the orchards paradoxically revitalized local arid agriculture, they gradually displaced pastoral systems, igniting deep sociopolitical unrest. Over two decades ago, the American University of Beirut (AUB), through its Environment and Sustainable Development Unit (ESDU), helped mediate this transformation by fostering participatory land-use planning and cooperative development. The resulting truce withstood even the early years of the Syrian refugee influx and Lebanon’s growing governance vacuum. Today, however, the paradox returns with renewed vigor and pernicious mutations. Intensified climate change, urban sprawl, and accelerating land degradation now threaten not only livelihoods but entire ecosystems. Unregulated pollution, groundwater over-extraction, and veterinary collapse risk exterminating endemic species, alongside the vulnerable human communities sustaining this spiral. In response, AUB re-engages with nature-based solutions, such as Azolla-based wastewater treatment and horizontal-flow constructed wetlands, to restore ecological health, support transhumance traditions, and revive endemic plant and animal life. This strategy anchors biodiversity as a cornerstone of both conservation and peacebuilding. Promoting community stewardship through participatory action research, is grounded in the symbolic legacy of the Kamouh of Hermel, an ancient Pyramid styled mausoleum standing tall amid Hermel’s desert, mystically fusing Seleucid and Assyrian cultures. Our study reframes environmental recovery as a pathway to local empowerment and governance reform in Lebanon’s marginalized hinterlands. We call it Eco-Governance.

Abstract

Population aging is a direct consequence of the demographic transition underway in Brazil and has generated significant impacts on Brazilian society. During the aging process, individuals  often face situations of vulnerability and social isolation, frequently associated with loneliness, which can compromise their autonomy and independence. In 2018, the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS) created an institutional university extension program, known as UnAPI - Universidade Aberta à Pessoa Idosa (Open University for the Elderly), designed to welcome and include elderly people within the university environment. The program contributes to the preservation of autonomy and independence, while fostering the development of new social bonds and the exchange of experiences through a wide range of intergenerational activities.This study aims to analyze the program’s development between 2022 and 2025, considering its expansion across different UFMS campuses, the number of vacancies offered, and student enrollment. Currently, UnAPI operates in six cities, carrying out dozens of initiatives every semester. Since its creation, the program has demonstrated consistent growth. Examples of free extension activities offered include: Basic Computing; the Active Life Project, Community Gardening, Oral Health, Choir, Ballroom Dancing, Digital Literacy, Languages and Memory Workshops. UnAPI/UFMS stands out as an innovative and effective strategy for inclusion, training, and social and health education of elderly people in the university context, while also aligning with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as SDGs 3, 4, 10, and 11. Moreover, it strengthens opportunities for building friendships and promoting the sharing of knowledge and life experiences.

Abstract

A mutual relationship among the 3C partners—Campus, City, and Community—is essential for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Siam University, as the only higher education institution in the Phasi Charoen district, has been actively collaborating with surrounding communities and the district office for several years. At present, university administrators and faculty members have taken leading roles in supporting local and community development. The UPC4LocalSDGs and the 4Co (Co-Create, Co-Design, Co-Produce, Co-Reflect) Action Model have been developed as a framework for working with the district office and communities, which serve as our social living labs. This paper presented case studies that employed the 4Co action model in the 3C partnership sustainable initiatives. The “Tiny Heroes, Global Saviors” project in Lad Pachi community exemplified an innovative organic waste management approach using black soldier fly larvae to decompose organic waste and develop into a protein-based and laboratory-tested pet food product. The project received the 2024 IGGA Award in the “Benefitting Society” category. In the area of sustainable transportation, the “S-Guard Barrier Pole” was developed to enhance pedestrian safety, particularly for individuals using wheelchairs, while also deterring motorcyclists from driving on the footpath. Most recently, the 3C partners have co-developed a smart, rechargeable electric garbage-collection motorcycle designed for narrow alleys, with prototypes currently being tested in several communities throughout the district.

Abstract

Sustainable development ensures future generations can meet their needs, making it vital for institutions to adopt sustainable practices. The UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offer a framework to tackle global challenges, with universities playing a key role through research, education, and partnerships. While studies have explored SDGs in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), a comprehensive, institution-wide approach remains underexamined, particularly in the Middle East North African region. This study addresses that gap by analyzing SDG integration at Heliopolis University for Sustainable Development (HUSD) in Egypt. Established in 2012, HUSD embeds sustainability across academic and operational dimensions, aligning with SEKEM—a holistic sustainable development initiative in the Middle East—and its localized framework, the Sekem Vision Goals (SVGs). The case study examines SDGs across education, research, governance and community engagement, and using content analysis of curricula and journal publications. An UNESCWA-made survey assesses faculty and student perceptions, while thematic analysis highlights key priorities at HUSD, showing its attention to a holistic approach, community-building efforts, and the climate impact of university-led projects. By showcasing best practices for comprehensive SDG implementation, this study provides valuable insights for HEIs, particularly in the Global South, to integrate sustainability into their structures and enhance their global contributions

Abstract

University nature trails are innovative forms of experiential learning and environmental education that foster sustainability awareness, student engagement, and well-being. This study examines the impact of the nature trail located on the campus of the University of Sopron on students’ sustainability-related attitudes and behaviors. The research applies a mixed-methods approach: narrative and institutional case studies are complemented by a quantitative survey with 916 valid responses. The case study presents the conceptual background of the trail, its design and implementation process, and its integration into the university’s educational and community life. It highlights the cultural and local significance of the trail, as well as its connection to the sustainability efforts of higher education in Central Europe. The quantitative survey assesses students’ knowledge, confidence in applying sustainability principles in practice, and opinions on the university’s environmental initiatives (e.g., selective waste collection, use of renewable energy sources, and green infrastructure). The findings indicate a high level of interest in environmental issues among students, yet gaps remain in translating sustainability knowledge into consistent, everyday actions. The case study reveals that the trail provides a place-based, experiential learning environment that strengthens emotional bonds with nature, supports interdisciplinary learning, and fosters community engagement. By linking theoretical knowledge with direct experiences, it enables deeper understanding and helps bridge the gap between knowledge and action. The combined methodological approach offers a comprehensive view of how experiential learning environments can influence sustainability awareness. The study presents a Central European example in which sustainability education is embedded in local values and a nature-based setting, supporting behavioral change and community building in higher education.
