The principle of co-creation and co-execution of sustainability initiatives increases the value for all by mutual learning, and the sharing of expertise and resources. But pursuing sustainability initiatives with a community and societal involvement is not simple. There is a perceived need for a better understanding of how universities can interact with society, in order to support the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This book is an attempt to address this need, by a novel approach which focuses on current potentials and challenges, across a wide range of fields and expertise. The book focuses on how the theory and practice of sustainable development interact and shows the need for a continuation of the dialogue among sustainability academics and practitioners, so as to address the issues, matters and problems at hand. The spectrum of themes addressed on this book also entails how environmental values and ethics are applied and the relationship between social, biological and cultural diversity. It also includes a broad disciplinary approach to sustainability, including education, research and case studies, and the links with human?environment relations in a sustainable development context. . 410 0$aWorld Sustainability Series,$x2199-7381 606 $aSustainability 606 $aEnvironmental education 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aSustainability 606 $aEnvironmental and Sustainability Education 606 $aEnvironmental Management 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aEnvironmental education. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 14$aSustainability. 615 24$aEnvironmental and Sustainability Education. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 676 $a304.20711 702 $aLeal Filho$b Walter 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484040103321 996 $aUniversities, sustainability and society$92572440 997 $aUNINA
