The issue of Sustainable Development has remained a central issue over the past three decades. The seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, are action plans that involve all societal actors and define goals and targets, with the aim of stimulating action to achieve these goals by 2030. However, the gap between the world of research and practice in implementing sustainable development is still considerable.

Universities are key institutions for disseminating knowledge, through teaching, and for generating new knowledge, through research. These aspects make universities important players in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Universities have a major role to play by introducing not only the teaching of sustainable development into the curriculum across the spectrum of courses offered, but also the programs themselves are sustainable. Research found that there is a lack of knowledge and awareness of sustainable development among students as well as experts. Not only that, they are not equipped with the knowledge and skills to participate in sustainable processes in the workplace. Thus, the integration of SD in Higher Education (HE) can be achieved through teaching, research, environmental management, and knowledge transmission so as to improve the implementation of hitherto unsolved sustainability practices related to economic vitality, justice, social cohesion, environmental protection, inefficient energy use, lack of water conservation, increased pollution, human rights violations, war, poverty, excessive use of private transportation, consumerism, and sustainable management of natural resources

Reflecting on this background, therefore the 3rd International Seminar on Natural Resources on Sustainable Development this year focuses on the theme "ESTABLISHING A COHESIVE FRAMEWORK FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: INTEGRATING RESEARCH AND PRACTICE"
