The session looked at a range of competency frameworks for embedding the Sustainable Development Goals into higher education curricula, and most importantly, engaged students, institutional leaders and wider sector stakeholders in analysing alignment between the objectives of the various frameworks, successful examples of their implementation and barriers to wider deployment. We were also able to bring the student perspective in other sessions, especially in the one on \u2018Advancing AI Literacy across sectors\u2019 organised by the UN University and in the closing panel.
