8th GUNi World Report Special Issue

During the last few weeks, we have been publishing some new contents related to the Sustainable Development of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). These articles, videos and podcast are aimed at inspiring you and fostering the discussion and action towards a more sustainable future.

Have you seen the new publications? Here's a summary for you!

Positive and alternative futures to drive sustainability in Higher Education Institutions. In this podcast, Didac Ferrer and Professor Daniella Tilbury explore some best practices and future scenarios that we hope will enlighten and influence HEIs to make a real impact by committing with concepts such as transformation, inclusiveness and, overall, with Sustainable Development.

Collaborative culture, the missing piece at universities. Didac Ferrer is the author of this article in two chapters. Ferrer wonders "what lessons have we learned and in what direction should universities focus their actions to contribute to sustainability?". His article assesses the current state of HEIs in this field and advocates for "a community and collaborative logic of mutual assistance, one that is more diverse and linked to both our local and global surrounding environments". Read his contribution in the links:

Part 1. A bittersweet assessment after two decades of work towards sustainability

Part 2. In order to have an impact we need more dynamic collaborative organisation

Driving sustainability from a multilevel perspective: The Finland example. Through this video capsule, Professor Eeva Furman dives us into evidence-based governmental action for sustainable development, from her perspective as Secretary-General for Finland’s Commission on Sustainable Development and her experience as expert in the intersection between science policy and society.
