Greening Higher Education: Contributing to a Better Future for All
Higher education graduates greatly influence and set societal norms when assuming leadership roles in public institutions, governments, and the private sector or shaping societies through a range of social and professional services as well as their lifestyle choices. Higher education institutions in many countries are committed to undertake greening initiatives in teaching and learning, research, and community service to enable their graduates to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to address current and future sustainability issues. This lecture will explore the United Nations call to transform higher education through greening to create a more peaceful, just, and sustainable future for all.
