Case Studies

With the world facing urgent environmental and social challenges, sustainability has become a key concentration across higher education. This chapter describes the shifting sustainability landscape internationally among institutions of higher education in the Global South, including universities that are adopting sustainability. It considers the means through which sustainability has been incorporated into curricula, research and governance structures in examples from West Africa, South Asia and Latin America, and the significance of community engagement. It demonstrates how these efforts contribute to social equity, environmental justice, economic development and resilience in communities. Furthermore, demonstrates technology's role in facilitating knowledge sharing and learning for application in sustainability concepts. Facilitating decolonial and inclusive sustainability pedagogy, the chapter seeks to inspire institutions of learning to develop educational offerings that reflect the many realities of the Global South to make an impact on the attainment of the SDGs.
