This book documents and disseminates experiences from a wide range of universities across the
five continents which showcase how the principles of sustainable development may be
incorporated as part of university programmes and present transformatory projects and
programmes showing how sustainability can be implemented across disciplines. Sustainability in
a higher education context is a fast growing field. Thousands of universities across the world
have signed declarations or have committed themselves to integrate the principles of
sustainable development in their activities: teaching research and extension and many more
will follow.
