Abstract
The role of higher educational institutions (HEIs) in sustainable regional development is becoming a subject of attention of researchers and policymakers. Apart from clear inputs such as sustainable education and promotion of renewable energy sources, HEIs can act as partners and consultancies for the local authorities helping them to embark on the path of sustainable economic and social growth. Our paper looks into the role of higher education in sustainable development of regions. We identify HEIs as the hubs of knowledge and know-how spill-overs as well as active players in industry-university connection. Our results confirm the importance of higher education in promoting the decarbonization of economy, helping the transition to the renewables and the creation of wider social acceptance of sustainable development.

Summary
There are many environmental problems cannot be understood by isolating them from the political and economic context in which they arise, even if they create situations of environmental injustice [1]. Integrating the principles of sustainable development and livelihoods and economic opportunities for peoples into the framework of international law This might help to develop a better understanding of how the relationships between society, nature, territory and governance play out. Based on a unique co-management approach based on the principles of sustainable development, environmental responsibility and the sustainable management of natural resources Such a global analysis is complemented by a local value chain that takes into account social and economic indicators developed at the local level. It makes use of a managed neoliberal multiculturalism and recognizes the need to integrate and marginalize locally existing territories Such methods allow specific characteristics to be identified which, by virtue of their specific characteristics, could be included in the production phase by the different regions and municipalities of a country and their countries
