Advancing sustainability in higher education

As colleges and universities craft strategies for the future, they should consider the larger context in which they operate. Institutions are no longer insulated from the rhythms and pressures of the outside world. Their success increasingly depends on their ability to adapt to change. Advancing sustainability in higher education explores how colleges and universities can holistically advance sustainability across their institution: academics, research, community engagement, and campus operations.

By making sustainability a prominent commitment in their shifting missions, institutions can expand public capacity for much needed R&D, engage a wider range of stakeholders in critical dialogue, and integrate the student experience across the curriculum in a way that matches student values.
