Higher Education and SDG12

Higher Education and SDG12 focuses on how higher education institutions worldwide are furthering Sustainable Development Goal 12 ‘Responsible Consumption and Production’ through the integration of knowledge and practice toward sustainability in their campuses, curriculum, collaborations, and cultures. Offering an international view, the chapters present research findings, recommendations, and practical insights from countries in the Global South and North addressing challenges relating to campus operations, changes in the curriculum, collaborations with industry and communities, and cultural change. Real world examples of innovative approaches globally are offered in teaching and learning, community involvement, partnerships with industry, activism and the empowerment of students, with academics and communities leading change on the SDG12 agenda. A dedicated resource for fostering sustainable development in higher education, the book offers a structured approach to identifying and developing sustainability practices. Showcasing a wide array of responsible consumption and production solutions, this insightful text equips educators, administrators, and policymakers with the necessary resources to drive meaningful change. Higher Education and the Sustainable Development Goals is a series of 17 books that address each of the SDGs through the lens of higher education. Adopting a solutions-based approach, each book focuses on how higher education is advancing delivery of Agenda 2030. The series is edited by Wendy Purcell, Professor with Rutgers University and Academic Research Scholar with Harvard University; Emeritus Professor and University President Emerita.
