The United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are at the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015. They are the blueprint for all developed and developing countries to tackle the global challenges, starting from ending poverty and eliminating all deprivations, providing equal access to resources by all, spurring economic growth fighting climate change and preserving the land and the sea. Universities have a unique role in creating and disseminating knowledge, yet as one of the leading universities in Azerbaijan, BAAU extends its mission to cover community service as well as education and research. BAAU aims to fulfill all SDGs through research, teaching and outreach activities, sustainable campus operations and collaborations with the stakeholders. BAAU introduced its sustainability website (https://sdg.baau.edu.az/en) in August 2024 along with the University’s first Sustainability Reports. Baku Eurasian University in Azerbaijan is setting the example by putting sustainability at the core of the institution. In fact, by viewing its responsibility toward these global goals, BAAU understands its role in achieving SDGs, including education, research, community engagement, and operational practices.
