Global Student Forum’s Areas of Focus around Higher Education for Sustainable Development At the Global Student Forum (GSF), we view higher education as a cornerstone for achieving sustainable development. Our work in this area focuses on the following key priorities: Promoting the Right to Higher Education as a Public Good We advocate for accessible, inclusive, and publicly funded higher education systems that serve the common good, not private profit. This includes resisting the commodification and privatisation of education, and ensuring that no student is left behind due to financial or structural barriers. Embedding Sustainable Development Across Curricula and Governance GSF calls for a holistic integration of sustainability in higher education—embedding the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in both academic curricula and institutional governance. We push for interdisciplinary learning and transformative pedagogy that equips students to address global challenges. Advancing Green Skills for the Just Transition We promote the development of green skills within higher education systems to empower students to actively participate in the just transition to sustainable economies. This includes technical, cognitive, and social skills needed for climate resilience, green innovation, and sustainability-driven employment. Student-Led Action for Sustainability We support and amplify student-led initiatives advancing climate justice, social equity, and sustainability on campuses and beyond. GSF works to strengthen student participation in decision-making processes related to sustainability policies at local, national, and global levels. Global Solidarity and Partnerships Through international collaboration, we foster solidarity among student unions and movements to share best practices and campaign for higher education systems that contribute to just, peaceful, and sustainable societies. We also engage in global advocacy spaces to ensure student voices shape the future of education. Education in Emergencies and At-Risk Contexts We advocate for the inclusion of displaced, refugee, and at-risk students in higher education, ensuring that sustainability also means building resilience and guaranteeing continuity of education for all, even in times of crisis. Accountability and Policy Influence GSF contributes to policy processes at the UN and other multilateral levels, holding governments and institutions accountable for their education commitments. We push for financing, monitoring, and reporting mechanisms that recognize the central role of students in sustainable development. The Global Student Forum (GSF) is the umbrella platform for the world’s major representative student federations. We represent over 200 national student unions and regional federations from more than 120 countries, collectively voicing the interests of over 200 million students worldwide.
