17.2 Relationships to support the goals

Through international collaboration and research, review comparative approaches and develop international best practice on tackling the SDGs

UNHAS has a strong focus on international collaboration and research to develop best practices for tackling the SDGs. In 2024 the Faculty of Marine Sciences and Fisheries held a hybrid kick-off seminar  for the “Marine Ranching Demonstration Project” with Shanghai Ocean University and Guangdong Ocean University which will implement artificial reefs and sea-ranching in the Spermonde Archipelago to support marine biodiversity conservation and SDG 14 (Life Below Water). UNHAS also supported the Makassar City learning exchange with Maniwa City, Japan as part of its commitment toward becoming a low-carbon city. The partners shared best practices in low-emission development, renewable energy, and adaptive governance, evaluating comparative approaches for local climate action. Through such collaborations, UNHAS fosters cross-border cooperation, shared knowledge, and international best practices for sustainable development.
