Summary

The direction of Higher Education is at a cross roads against a background of mounting sustainability related issues and uncertainties. This book seeks to inspire positive change in Higher Education through exploration of the rich notion of the sustainable university and to illustrate pathways through which its potential can be realised, based on the experience of leading Higher Education institutes in the UK. It outlines progress in the realization of the concept of the 'sustainable university' appropriate to the socio-economic and ecological conditions facing society and graduates. Written by leading exponents of sustainability and sustainability education, it brings together examples, insight, reflection and strategies from the experience of ten universities, widely recognised as leaders in developing sustainability in Higher Education. The book thus draws on a wealth of experience to provide reflective critical analysis of barriers, achievements, strategies and potential. It critically reviews theory and practice in realizing key aspects of what it means to develop the sustainable university in a systemic and whole institutional manner, including the role of organisational learning. It maps out possible new directions and lines of research as well as practical advice for researchers, students and professionals in the fields of management, leadership, organisational change, strategy, and curriculum development who wish to take this work further, whilst being mindful of prospects and opportunities in the current climate and with an eye to future challenges.
