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.
