SDG Guidebook for Youth in Action is a resource developed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to empower young people to engage with and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Designed as a self-learning journey, the guidebook encourages readers to explore their communities through an SDG lens while fostering innovative thinking and collaboration to address real-world challenges.

The guide provides reflective questions, practical exercises, and actionable guidance to help youth design and implement small-scale sustainability projects in their communities. By highlighting the importance of youth perspectives, it positions young people as key drivers of change in achieving the 2030 Agenda.

Ideal for students, educators, and youth leaders, this resource supports the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills, inspiring individuals to take meaningful action toward a more sustainable and inclusive future.

Education for Sustainable Development Curriculum Design Toolkit is a practical resource developed by Advance HE to support higher education institutions in embedding sustainability into their curricula. Grounded in the CRAFTS methodology, the toolkit provides a structured yet flexible approach to integrating Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) across modules and programmes, aligning learning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Designed for educators, programme leaders, and teaching teams, the toolkit guides users through a five-phase process—from analysing stakeholder needs and mapping existing curriculum content, to redesigning courses with an ESD focus and creating action plans for continuous improvement.

With practical templates, reflective exercises, and active learning strategies, this resource supports the development of sustainability competencies across cognitive, socio-emotional, and behavioural domains. It enables institutions to move beyond surface-level integration, fostering meaningful learning experiences that equip students with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to address complex global challenges.

The General Guidelines for the Implementation of Sustainability in Higher Education Institutions, developed by UNESCO, provide a high-level framework to support higher education institutions in systematically integrating sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across all dimensions of the university. The guidelines emphasize embedding sustainability into institutional governance and strategic planning, teaching and learning, research, campus operations, and engagement with external stakeholders and society at large. They highlight the unique role of higher education institutions as knowledge producers, capacity builders, and catalysts for social transformation, while promoting flexible and context-sensitive approaches that can be adapted to different institutional realities, resources, and levels of readiness, with a strong focus on continuous improvement, monitoring, and evaluation rather than prescriptive or rigid requirements.

Accelerating Education for the SDGs in Universities is a practical resource designed to help universities, colleges, and higher education institutions embed and advance Education for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across their teaching, learning, and institutional practices. Developed by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) in collaboration with the SDSN Regional Network for Australia, New Zealand & Pacific, the Technical University of Madrid, and Monash University, the guide draws on insights and contributions from institutions around the world. It expands on the education component of the widely recognized 2017 publication Getting Started with the SDGs in Universities, offering updated guidance, examples, and strategies to support institutions in driving meaningful impact.
