This meeting was chaired by the Rector, with more than 117 representatives of university presidents attending. Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, President of SDSN, gave the welcome speech, and Karima El Korri, UN Resident Coordinator for Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei Darussalam, and Ban Ki-Moon, 8th Secretary-General of the United Nations and founder of the Ban Ki-Moon Center for Global Citizens, were the keynote speakers.

          The main topics discussed during the meeting were:

          1. Creating a platform for educating a new generation of students who understand      the SDGs through activities and curricula.

          2. Creating a platform for research and technology on climate change and the         development of community living conditions.

          3. Strengthening the collaboration between universities and the United Nations at the regional level, as well as with other network partners, is crucial. Universities have the potential to serve as a central hub for connecting the political, economic, and   social sectors in order to promote the overall well-being of the community.
