AASHE publications examine a wide range of higher education sustainability issues and include focused reports, how-to guides and benchmarking tools. In today’s rapidly changing landscape, higher education’s role in advancing sustainability has never been more critical. Colleges and universities are uniquely positioned to prepare changemakers, drive innovation, and model transformative action. That’s why we’ve updated Beyond the Right Thing to Do: The Value of Sustainability in Higher Education, a timely resource to help higher education leaders and sustainability practitioners articulate the measurable value of sustainability in today’s context.
Anyone is welcome to join the Communities of Practice - self-organizing networks of higher education sustainability advocates formed around specific topics of interest. All you need is a free AASHE account!
We’re here if you need support with any of the above! All best,
Daita
