The implementation of sustainability initiatives on campuses is an
essential component of promoting sustainability in the higher
education context. In addition to reflecting an awareness of
environmental issues, campus programmes demonstrate how seriously
universities take sustainability at the institutional level. There
is a lack of truly interdisciplinary publications that
comprehensively address the issue of campus greening, and there is
an even greater need for publications that do so at a truly
international level. This book meets these needs. It is one of the
outcomes of the "Second Symposium on Sustainability in University
Campuses" (SSUC-2018), which was jointly organised by the
University of Florence (Italy), Manchester Metropolitan University
(UK), the Research and Transfer Centre "Sustainable Development and
Climate Change Management" and the "European School of
Sustainability Science and Research" at the Hamburg University of
Applied Sciences (Germany), in cooperation with the
Inter-University Sustainable Development Research Programme
(IUSDRP). The book showcases examples of campus-based research and
teaching projects, regenerative campus design, low-carbon and
zero-carbon buildings, waste prevention, and resilient transport,
among others. Ultimately, it demonstrates the role of campuses as
platforms for transformative social learning and research, and
explores the means by which university campuses can be made more
sustainable. The aims of this publication are as follows: * to
provide universities with essential information on campus greening
and sustainable campus development initiatives from around the
world; * to share ideas and lessons learned in the course of
research, teaching and projects on campus greening and design,
especially successful initiatives and good practice; and * to
introduce methodological approaches and projects intended to
integrate the topic of sustainable development in campus design and
operations. This book gathers contributions from researchers and
practitioners in the field of campus greening and sustainable
development in the widest sense, from business and economics, to
the arts, administration and the environment, and hailing from
Europe, Latin America, North America and Asia.
