Abstract

Sustainability is an increasingly important topic in a world with ever-increasing climate and humanitarian crises. With these issues mounting, we will have a growing need for new sustainability experts in the future. Sustainability needs to start from education and the campus itself so that current students can get hands-on experience on how sustainable environments are created. This means that it is crucial that educational organizations focus on creating and developing meaningful sustainability education.

The purpose of this report is to assist university teachers and administrative staff in planning and executing high-quality sustainability education and a sustainable campus. Structured as a step-by-step guide, the report starts from sustainable campus life and management and then proceeds to university- level commitment in developing sustainability teaching. To be able to create sustainable education, it is essential to raise awareness among teachers and have them participate in developing programs and courses. As the third step, the report delves into the planning of online education courses that can be offered internationally. Overall, the report is built upon the practice-proven Whole-of-society approach of the Ateneo de Manila University and complemented with lessons learned from various countries.

This report is based on a workshop hosted by the Sino-Finnish cooperation in digital teaching and research (DIGITREE) and the Finnish-ASEAN academic platform for sustainable development (FAPSU) on November 2nd, 2023
