Reassessing African higher education and the 13th sustainable goal (Climate Action) : unpacking salient contributions

Fundamentally, the 2030 Global Agenda for Sustainable Development encapsulated with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's), occasions a powerful architecture for a new revolutionary global lifestyle and for earth communities locally and globally. This book chapter has a three-fold purpose. First, it re-makes a critical assessment of the 13th Sustainable Development Goal (Climate Action) towards true realization of sustainable development and particularly the contribution of African higher education both pedagogically and practically. Second, it underscores the multi- and interdisciplinary dimensions and functions of all the SDG's especially in providing fundamental principles strategies, policies, values and motivation as global "game changers" and breakthrough for sustainable and long-term climate justice, anthropogenic sinks and peaceful sustainable living. Nonetheless, it identifies the inherent "lacunae" limitations and challenges as whole! Third, on more transformative, methodological and practical perspectives, today's African model of higher education in particular, needs to truly demonstrate result-based innovative, creative, interdisciplinary contributions, solutions and alternatives towards global realization of SDG 2030. Hence, avoiding only the North- Atlantic and American based solutions and models. Consequently, going beyond the business as usual approaches and dangerous inaction nationally and continentally. Briefly, the fundamental task and rationale of this chapter is to concretely calibrate and review substantial and concrete contribution of Africa's academia both qualitatively and quantitatively towards realization of SDG 13 (Climate Action). Admittedly, this quest calls for a new African avantgarde for sustainable climate action solution for and with our collaborative endeavors towards true domestication of key institutional visions, values and strategies towards climate justice and sustainable development as a whole
