Sommario/riassunto

This book examines policies and practices within higher education, particularly in the field of teacher education, that foster sustainability from a variety of viewpoints. It sheds light on both common facilitators



and obstacles across 18 research-oriented chapters. It scrutinizes global research, policies, and practices, and delves into the theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence that underpin the research. It also offers critical perspectives on teacher education, emphasizing potential areas for growth. The collective findings presented in this book offer valuable insights into the sustainable development of teaching and research within higher education institutions, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the challenges at hand. Its concluding chapter culminates in an action plan for higher education institutions, synthesizing the global research presented throughout; with the aim of rejuvenating higher education and, consequently, societies as a whole. In essence, this book serves as a catalyst for initiating a global conversation within higher education, facilitating the exploration of new discourse topics, and transforming the mindset prevalent in academia, all with the ultimate goal of nurturing sustainable futures.
