Abstract
This study invents a Triple Helix of university-public-government for sustainable development, as a complement to the Triple Helix of university-industry-government for innovation. Twinning the two retains the dynamic properties of a tertius gaudens in the framework which addresses environment, resource protection, social change and equality issues. Adding a risk space and raising the “Triple Helix Spaces” concept to the world level are also proposed as a methodology to fulfill related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through joint projects transcending national borders. A project for collaborative world region development of advanced solar photovoltaics is then suggested as an exemplar. Achieving the UN SDGs requires education institutions, governments, non-government organizations and individuals to commit to collaborations, adopting dynamically interacting triple helices to unite innovative development and sustainable development. Debate over expanding the Triple Helix model has focused on whether the fourth and fifth helix might improve or disrupt the triadic model. Although a four-actor system is far away from satisfaction, an expanded model is required to incorporate the critical issues of reconciling innovative and sustainable development. Harnessed together, the Triple Helix twins provide a framework for SDGs attainment.

IntroductionAchievement of sustainable development has increasingly received attention even as innovative reconstruction has long been a highly sought-after goal
In recent years, achievement of sustainable development has increasingly received attention even as innovative reconstruction has long been a highly sought-after goal.The two objectives have often been viewed as mutually contradictory, and a zero-sum debate has ensued over which one should be prioritized at the expense of the other.The alternative is a synthesis that combines and even reinforces both objectives, but where is such an ideal to be found? The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, which set 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) [1], provides a unified blueprint
Develop a framework of triple helix twins for innovation and sustainable development: first interpreting why and how the U-P-G works for the SDGs, including it into the new frame
Summary
Achievement of sustainable development has increasingly received attention even as innovative reconstruction has long been a highly sought-after goal. Science and technology offer many tools for improving the understanding of risks and possibilities and for guiding different lines of action [2] Rapid technological change such as big data, the Internet, machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotics, 3D printing, nanotechnology and renewable energy represents a significant opportunity to achieve the SDGs [3,4] but poses new challenges for (human) resource markets and environmental carrying capacity, raising ethical questions about perpetuating inequalities [5,6]. Helix twins expand the model from a single to a dual set of triple helices, simultaneously achieving innovative and sustainable development, while retaining the unique triadic engine of the original concept. Develop a framework of triple helix twins for innovation and sustainable development: first interpreting why and how the U-P-G works for the SDGs, including it into the new frame. Explore how the triple helix twins work: a triple helix risk space concept is added, and a world SD triple helix spaces concept has been adapted to handle global issues
