Education is the keystone to the vision of worldwide sustainable development. Higher education plays a particular role in the context of sustainable development: it has a major influence on the way in which future generations in positions of responsibility will deal with the complex demands they will face as a result of globalisation and world trade, problems with poverty and the environment and development.This book reflects the experience of many different people, from all over the world, united by their work on higher education for sustainability. The variety of different political, methodological, and didactical approaches is the visible expression of the diversity of worldwide efforts to face the challenge of sustainability creatively and constructively. The effectiveness of higher education's efforts for sustainability depend on the strength and inclusiveness of the partnerships, networks and alliances that develop among stakeholders at all levels. This book aims to play its part in promoting Higher Education for Sustainable Development at the international level.
