It is with great pleasure and profound appreciation that we present the proceedings of the International Conference on Economics, Business, Social, and Humanities 2025 held on April 14-15, in Tainan, Taiwan. This international gathering in collaborations with Kun Shan University as co host, themed "Accelerating Global Sustainable Development Through Higher Education," convened scholars, educators, policymakers, practitioners, and students from across the globe to engage in vital discussions, share groundbreaking research, and forge collaborations to advance the role of higher education in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

As the world grapples with unprecedented global challenges—ranging from climate change and social inequality to public health crises and technological disruption—higher education institutions are uniquely positioned to serve as engines of transformation. Universities and colleges are not only centers of knowledge creation, but also critical platforms for shaping future leaders, influencing public policy, and fostering innovation that supports sustainable and equitable development.

The papers included in this volume reflect the rich diversity of ideas and approaches presented at the conference. They cover a wide array of topics including education for sustainable development (ESD), inclusive pedagogy, green campus initiatives, research for impact, policy engagement, international collaboration, and digital transformation in higher education. Each contribution underscores the importance of interdisciplinary dialogue, local-global linkages, and the imperative to reimagine educational systems for a just and sustainable future.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all authors, presenters, reviewers, and organizing committee members whose dedication and scholarly contributions made this conference and its proceedings possible. We are especially thankful to our keynote speakers and panelists, whose insights inspired thoughtful reflection and action-oriented discourse throughout the event.

It is our hope that this volume serves not only as a record of the conference, but also as a catalyst for ongoing dialogue, research, and collaboration. May the ideas and initiatives shared herein continue to inspire academic communities and policy circles worldwide to harness the transformative power of higher education in pursuit of global sustainability.
