Sustainability initiatives require close collaboration between universities and societal partners to yield the expected benefits. The principle of co-creation and co-execution enhances the value for all by fostering mutual learning, sharing expertise, and resources. However, pursuing sustainability with community and societal involvement presents challenges. There is a perceived need for a better understanding of how universities can engage with society to support the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
This book aims to address this need by adopting a novel approach that explores current potentials and challenges across various fields and expertise. It emphasizes the interplay between sustainable development theory and practice and highlights the importance of ongoing dialogue among sustainability academics and practitioners. The book addresses a wide range of themes, including the application of environmental values and ethics, the relationship between social, biological, and cultural diversity, and a multidisciplinary approach to sustainability encompassing education, research, case studies, and human-environment relations within a sustainable development context.
By examining these topics, the book seeks to provide insights and solutions for promoting sustainable development and addressing the pressing challenges of our time. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and anyone interested in contributing to a more sustainable and equitable future.
