Towards Green Campus Operations - Energy, Climate and Sustainable Development Initiatives at Universities by Walter Leal Filho, Fernanda Frankenberger, Patricia Iglecias, Roberta Consentino, Kronka Mülfarth, (eds) is a nonfiction available to read on EtoBox.
What is Towards Green Campus Operations - Energy, Climate and Sustainable Development Initiatives at Universities about?
Matters related to sustainable development, albeit global in nature, are best handled at the local level. This line of thinking is particularly true to the higher education context, where the design and implementation of sustainability initiatives on campuses can demonstrate how a given university translates the principles of sustainable development into practice, at the institutional level. Yet, there is a paucity of specific events where a dialogue among sustainability academics and practitioners concerned with a) research, projects b) teaching and c) planning and infra-structure leading to campus greening takes place, so as to allow a transdisciplinary and cross-sectoral exchange of ideas and experiences on the issues, matters and problems at hand. It is against this background that this book has been prepared. It is one of the outcomes of the “First Symposium on Sustainability in University Campuses” (SSUC-2017) organised by the University of São Paulo in Brazil, Manchester Metropolitan University (UK), the Research and Transfer Centre “Applications of Life Sciences” of the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (Germany), and the Inter-University Sustainable Development Resear
