"Education for Sustainable Development: The Contribution of Universities" is a response to this urgent call for a reimagined educational landscape, one that empowers current and future generations to navigate and address the complexities of sustainability. This book seeks to outline universities' critical role as catalysts for sustainable development. As centres of knowledge creation, innovation, and community engagement, universities possess the unique ability to influence not only individual lives but also societal norms and practices. They are uniquely positioned to integrate sustainability into their curricula, research agendas, and outreach efforts, thus fostering a culture of sustainability that permeates all aspects of academic life. The need for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has never been clearer. By emphasising sustainability in higher education, we can raise awareness among students and faculty, inspiring them to become informed and engaged global citizens. This book serves as a comprehensive resource, offering insights, best practices, and real-world examples of how universities around the globe are advancing the principles of ESD. Within this book, the readers will find a rich tapestry of ideas and strategies designed to encourage institutions to embrace sustainability in a holistic manner. From innovative teaching methods to collaborative community partnerships, this collection reflects the diversity of approaches being implemented in universities today. It is our hope that the experiences shared will serve as a source of inspiration for educators, administrators, and policymakers. Ultimately, this book stands as a testament to the belief that education is a powerful tool for creating a more sustainable and equitable world. By fostering a deep understanding of sustainability and its interconnected dimensions, we can equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to tackle the pressing issues we face. Together, through a collective commitment to Education for Sustainable Development, we can cultivate a better future for generations to come. 410 0$aWorld Sustainability Series,$x2199-7381 606 $aSustainability 606 $aEnvironmental education 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aSustainability 606 $aEnvironmental and Sustainability Education 606 $aHigher Education 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aEnvironmental education. 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 14$aSustainability. 615 24$aEnvironmental and Sustainability Education. 615 24$aHigher Education. 676 $a304.2 700 $aLeal Filho$b Walter$0326246 701 $aTrevisan$b Laís Viera$01834130 701 $aPace$b Paul$01877011 701 $aMifsud$b Mark$01834132 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911015862003321 996 $aEducation for Sustainable Development: The Contribution of Universities$94488975 997 $aUNINA
