This book examines how higher education institutions can advance circularity, resilience, and sustainability through competencies, teaching innovation, and campus transformation. Bringing together international perspectives, it highlights how universities can integrate sustainability into curricula, governance, infrastructure, research, and community engagement, positioning themselves as active agents of institutional and societal change.
By moving beyond narrow environmental approaches, the volume presents sustainability as a holistic and transformative framework for higher education. It offers scholars, educators, and practitioners practical and conceptual insights into how universities can become more adaptive, inclusive, and future-ready in response to contemporary global challenges.
