BRIGHTS Publication - “Sustainability Offices and Global Sustainability Strategies. Making Universities part of the Global Transition to Sustainability”

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) play a crucial role in the Global Transition towards Sustainability. 

A recent publication by BRIGHTS, “Sustainability Offices and Global Sustainability Strategies. Making Universities part of the Global Transition to Sustainability”, is a handbook which describes how HEIs can contribute to this transition by developing sustainability strategies which are complementary to policy agendas, such as the Agenda 2030 with its SDGs or the European Green Deal. It is argued that sustainability strategies at universities need to be linked to internationalization and transfer strategies. Finally, the handbook presents good practices related to the set up of Global Sustainability Strategies(GSS) and Sustainability Offices (SO) at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs),which were collected by a European-wide ad-hoc survey.
