Within the framework of sustainable development, Environmental management poses a challenge for all Higher Education Institutions (HEI). Although the 2030 Agenda is a global action framework, it becomes a challenge for the HEIs to transfer it to their local context through research. To simplify this task, a methodological proposal is put forward to evaluate the academic capacities of the HEIs against the SDG. The methodology was developed in 5 phases and applied at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (PUJ) to SDG 3 Health and Wellbeing and its 13 sub-goals. A total of 1,694 research projects and theses, mainly from the School of Economic and Administrative Sciences and the School of Nursing. This methodological proposal constitutes an important contribution to the SDG and can also be replicated by other HEIs that wish to adopt it and contribute to the implementation of 2030 Agenda through research.
