Produktbeschreibung
For many of the challenges associated with sustainability, there can be found connections with how modern societies produce and consume, with poverty issues or with those related to pollution and destruction of ecosystems. To solve these problems, new approaches are needed. The nature of sustainability and the prospect of unsustainability require a change of lifestyle and therefore of education. Changes are necessary in curricula, pedagogy, policy and institutional structures. Teachers should be encouraged to reinterpret their disciplines in light of a sustainable development agenda. The call for Higher Education to take a leading role in education for sustainability, for a more sustainable future is more insistent. Education is recognized worldwide as a critical platform to enable all sectors of society to learn to manage change and make the transition to sustainable practices. The present book offers a complex view of Sustainability in Higher Education and proposes the changes required for achieving a Sustainable University.
