<i>‘Given the urgent need for action to promote sustainability in this Anthropocene Era, </i>Sustainable Universities and Colleges<i> is an important and timely piece for transforming our educational system.

It offers compelling solutions for reimagining university curricular frameworks and models to develop a sustainability mindset to benefit humanity and the planet in the long-term.’</i>
