This Handbook illustrates that universities per se and higher
education in general are essential to catalyze and action the
transformative change needed for sustainability and delivery of the
Sustainable Development Goals. Part One shows how sustainability
can be adopted as a driver of change within higher education
institutions (HEIs), as they react and respond to influencing
factors outside the academy. Part Two examines how a university
working with and for sustainability can influence, effect and
amplify change beyond the institution, working with and through
others. International contributors explore regional, national and
international perspectives, presenting a variety of critically
assessed accounts case studies that reflect different local and
national contexts, institutional archetypes and academic missions.
Frameworks of sustainability-led transformation are illustrated at
the level of the institution (executive/administrative),
organization, culture, place-based (anchor) and student in various
countries including Aruba, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong,
Japan, Lebanon, Nepal, New Zealand, Nigeria, South Africa, Spain,
Uganda, United Kingdom and the United States of America. The book
concludes with a manifesto for change and a call to action. It
identifies that the sustainability journey of a HEI is influenced
by context and place, with mission, leadership and strategy playing
a vital role and change agency by students a key ingredient.
Recognizing the patience and resolve to effect change,
communication, dialogue and inclusion were central to community
building and partnership.
