Universities are rethinking their teaching and research programs and their whole third mission in response to the framework provided by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). But how do universities walk the talk? What are the main strategies and activities undertaken by universities to implement the 2030 Agenda? While the higher education literature has documented the growing number of practices and strategies around SDGs, there have been few attempts to synthesize these scholarly resources. Moreover, the knowledge base revolves around an array of activities, which makes the literature seem fragmented. To fill this gap, the present paper conducts a systematic literature review and derives a method of categorizing activities that can support further knowledge growth. We classified 130 selected papers based on the type of university activities considered (research, teaching, third mission, and managing operations) and the level of the implemented action (macro, meso, and micro). Subsequently, we identified the main gaps in the literature and discussed future research avenues for addressing higher education's role in accomplishing SDGs.

大学正在重新思考其教学和研究项目以及整个第三使命，以响应可持续发展目标（SDGs）提供的框架。但大学如何将理念付诸行动？大学为实施《2030年议程》采取的主要战略和活动有哪些？虽然高等教育文献记录了围绕可持续发展目标的实践和战略数量不断增加，但很少有人尝试综合这些学术资源。此外，知识库围绕一系列活动展开，这使得文献看起来支离破碎。为填补这一空白，本文进行了系统的文献综述，并得出一种对活动进行分类的方法，以支持进一步的知识增长。我们根据所考虑的大学活动类型（研究、教学、第三使命和管理运营）以及实施行动的层面（宏观、中观和微观）对130篇选定论文进行了分类。随后，我们确定了文献中的主要差距，并讨论了未来研究途径，以探讨高等教育在实现可持续发展目标中的作用。
