Abstract

The sustainable development of higher education institutions (HEIs) is essential for fostering long-term academic, social, and environmental impact. General background emphasizes the rising demand for universities to adopt sustainable practices in governance, curriculum, infrastructure, and community engagement. Specific background highlights growing international commitments such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which position HEIs as key drivers of inclusive and responsible development. Despite increasing efforts, a knowledge gap remains in identifying actionable principles and effective mechanisms to institutionalize sustainability within higher education. This study aims to explore core principles—such as equity, transparency, innovation, and accountability—and to assess the mechanisms that enable sustainable transformation in HEIs. Using a qualitative approach involving policy review and institutional case analysis, the research identifies best practices across diverse contexts. Findings reveal that success depends on integrated planning, stakeholder involvement, green campus initiatives, and alignment with global frameworks. The novelty of this research lies in its holistic model linking institutional mission, strategic planning, and sustainability outcomes. Implications suggest that embedding sustainability into all functions of HEIs enhances resilience, societal relevance, and global competitiveness.
