This study focuses on how Indonesian Higher Education Institutions communicate and construct the sustainability discourse through their web-based publication.

Pathos has less frequent of appearance, with 11% identification. This strategy evoke emotional responses and inspire behavioral change. All of these institutions rely on the scientific evidence and expert opinions to educate the public about sustainability issues. Every institution has different thematic focus and unique concerns related to the Sustainable Development Goals issues, reflecting every unique concerns and areas of expertise.
