Sustainable development and enhanced university process, outcome, and impact evaluations.Since the mid-1970s, a series of international declarations that link environment and sustainable development to all aspects of higher learning have been endorsed and signed by universities around the world. Although university involvement in sustainable-development research and outreach has increased substantially, systematic learning from higher-education engagements has been limited. Universities and the Sustainable Development Future offers institutions of higher learning around the world practical guidelines that can be applied contextually to produce credible evidence regarding the outcome and impact of their teaching, research, and transnational-partnering activities. Drawing on innovative applications of lessons from experience with international-development cooperation, this book demonstrates the utility of a flexible framework that will inspire substantial improvements in the ways universities evaluate and improve their sustainable-development undertakings aimed at promoting Agenda 2030. This book promotes an inclusive evaluation framework that will allow universities to illuminate sustainable-development outcomes, and it provides a cutting-edge resource for students, scholars, and policy makers with an interest in sustainable development, climate change, and evaluation challenges.Sustainable developmentStudy and teaching (Higher)Universities and collegesEnvironmental aspectsEducation, HigherEnvironmental aspectsSustainable developmentStudy and teaching (Higher)Universities and collegesEnvironmental aspects.Education, HigherEnvironmental aspects.304.2071/1Koehn Peter H.659887Uitto Juha I297991MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910969717003321Universities and the sustainable development future4480299UNINA
