Rector of Universitas Negeri Surabaya

In our pursuit of a sustainable and inclusive future, Universitas Negeri Surabaya (UNESA) continues to advance as an institution that is “Satu Langkah di Depan” (one step ahead) in integrating education, research, and community service within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This 2025 UNESA SDGs Report reflects our collective journey to align academic excellence, innovation, and social responsibility with the principles of sustainability and equity.

UNESA’s transformative initiatives are grounded in the belief that higher education must serve as both a center of knowledge creation and a catalyst for societal change. Through a spirit of “Bersama Bisa Bekerja Sama” (Together We Can Collaborate), the university strengthens partnerships with government, industry, and communities to co-create solutions for real-world challenges. Each faculty, center, and student organization contributes meaningfully to advancing the 17 SDGs, ranging from inclusive education and gender equality to sustainable energy and strong institutions.

As a university committed to transformative education and evidence-based governance, UNESA’s sustainability agenda emphasizes innovation with integrity, inclusivity with impact, and collaboration with purpose. We strive not only to measure progress but also to cultivate a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous learning that empowers future generations to lead responsibly.

This report encapsulates UNESA’s commitment to integrating sustainability across its institutional ecosystem through research excellence, responsible governance, and community engagement. It stands as both a reflection of our progress and a roadmap for the years ahead.

With shared commitment and collective action, I am confident that UNESA will continue to advance as a leading institution that drives innovation, inclusivity, and integrity, fostering a sustainable and just future for all.
