Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) play a critical role in equipping future generations with the knowledge, skills, and mindset necessary to navigate the complex challenges of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This session aims to explore how we can better educate our students on sustainability and scale up successful practices across institutions.
CURRENT TRENDS
State of Sustainability Knowledge:
This segment will delve into the current state of sustainability knowledge within HEIs. Through the analysis of The Assessment of Sustainability Knowledge (TASK™), we will highlight areas where improvement is most needed.
