Green schools as catalysts for sustainable development: comparative insights from global and Indian frameworks
Abstract
Green schools are expanding globally as SDG-focused learning environment. No clear evidence exist for how digital technologies and sustainability frameworks can together lead to sustainability outcomes in schools. The present study includes a scoping review and comparative analysis of global/Indian green school frameworks. It has been found that (a) Global schools showcase stronger amalgamation of monitoring and performance validation; (b) Indian schools are slowly adopting new frameworks/technologies but mainly facing financing and operational challenges; (c) IoT strongly strengthens SDG coverage. This study proposes an integrated framework/technology SDG mapping lens and includes recommendations for scaling up green schools in India.
