Embedding Sustainability in
Higher Education
With the 2030 deadline for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) looming and global challenges intensifying, the role of higher education in advancing sustainability has become urgent. Learn about ways of embedding sustainability in teaching and learning across the university, in a free webinar with international experts.
The experts will explore how individual academics, staff and universities can become agents for sustainable change in the webinar titled “Time to Act: Embedding sustainability in higher education”. The panelists are Professor Fernando Reimers of Harvard University, an expert in education policy, global education and education for sustainability; Dr Debra Rowe, president of the US Partnership for Education for Sustainable Development; Dr Ratna Lindawati Lubis, a professor at Telkom University in Indonesia and an entrepreneurship education expert; and Dr Michael KJ Milligan, CEO of ABET, which has embedded sustainability criteria in its higher education accreditation standards.
The webinar is co-hosted by University World News and ABET, the United States-based but global operating quality assurance and accreditation agency.
How might faculty embed sustainability knowledge and skills into existing curricula and courses, equipping students with awareness of sustainability issues and preparing them to become sustainability drivers in the future workforce? And how might university leaders and staff advance an institution-wide focus on sustainability through policies, strategies, training and support? What are the good practice examples?
These and other questions will be probed in the webinar to be held on Thursday 26 June at: 8.00am LA, 11am NYC, 4pm London, 5pm Cape Town and 8.30pm Delhi.
