HIGHER EDUCATION SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVE - TERMS OF REFERENCE (TOR)

 

[1] The Higher Education Sustainability Initiative (HESI) is an open partnership between United Nations Department 
of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), UNESCO, United Nations Environment, the Principles for Responsible 
Management Education (PRME) initiative, United Nations University (UNU), UN-HABITAT, UNCTAD and UNITAR.  
HESI provides a broad platform for the United Nations and stakeholders to learn and share how the higher 
[5] education community is supporting implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and for 
encouraging higher education institutions (HEIs) and university networks to integrate sustainable development 
into teaching, research, outreach, and sustainability practices. 
(…) 
HESI works with a range of actors, namely its Partners (UN entities), Signatories (i.e. Higher Education 
[10] Institutions) and Supporters (i.e. international networks, national and regional organizations and student 
organizations) in carrying out its activities. This open partnership provides a unique interface between higher 
education, science and policy making in support of the SDGs.  
HESI relies on an informal organizational structure, leveraging a very collaborative and dynamic set of partners, 
higher education institutions and networks. In this regard, HESI has been able to attract many commitments 
[15] through their own network of Partners, Signatories and Supporters. While this modus operandi has been very 
successful in the past, it has also been noted by members the need to achieve a more regular and effective 
collaboration mechanism for engaging with HESI. It is against this background the present proposed Terms of 
Reference has been prepared, intended to clarify the roles and responsibilities of the various actors involved in 
HESI.
