Summary
This book presents the efforts that different educational institutions, with particular emphasis on higher education institutions, have been developing in order to contribute to a type of teaching that enhances sustainability. It also helps to understand the role that these organizations are playing in order to foster sustainability in their governance, teaching methods, and social life inside and outside the campus. Focusing specifically on the issue of sustainability in higher education in Portugal, the chapters of this book are written by Portuguese researchers and university professors and members of different Portuguese higher education institutions. The content reflects not only on the strategies, policies and procedures that have been developed in Portuguese higher education institutions in terms of sustainability, but also on the research that has been carried out in these same institutions. Among others, this book highlights The Portuguese Sustainable Campus Network, the cultural and sustainability transformation, challenges and changes in Portuguese Higher Education Institutions, the motivation and the well-being of University students in terms of sustainability, and the Sustainable Development Goals in higher education in Portugal.
