在过去的二十年中，高等教育机构越来越重视其机构的国际化和使其更具可持续性（例如，学院和大学规划协会，2009年；总统气候承诺，2007-2009年；NASFA：国际教育家协会，1998-2009年）。虽然这些目标本身值得称赞，但它们之间存在矛盾和紧张关系，特别是当我们考虑到出国留学等国际活动所涉及的碳排放时。但这些目标之间也存在潜在的协同作用。在本文中，我们将探讨两个国外项目的案例研究，这些项目认真地处理了可持续国际教育理念中固有的矛盾和机遇。第一篇研究了新西兰和库克群岛的环境政治和生态，第二篇比较了加拿大和美国的可持续城市实践。基于这些案例研究的经验教训，我们将论证国际化和可持续性努力之间的伙伴关系对于帮助高等教育机构实现全球化和“绿色”是必要的。为此，我们在本文中讨论了“绿色”留学课程的具体方法，特别是在两个案例研究中以及我们对国际教育工作者、教师和高等教育管理者的策略的最后讨论中。
Introduction The last two decades have seen institutions of higher education put increasing emphasis on both internationalizing their institutions and making them more sustainable (i.e., Society for College and University Planning, 2009; President’s Climate Commitment, 2007-2009; NASFA: Association of International Educators, 1998-2009). While laudable in their own right, there are contradictions and tensions between these goals, in particular when we consider the carbon emissions involved in international activities like study abroad. But there is also potential synergy between these goals. In this article, we will explore two case studies of programs abroad that seriously engaged both the contradictions and opportunities inherent in the idea of sustainable international education. The first examines environmental politics and ecology in New Zealand and the Cook Islands and the second compares sustainable urban practices in Canada and the United States. Based on the lessons learned from these case studies, we will argue that partnership between internationalization and sustainability efforts is necessary to help institutions of higher learning become both global and “green.” To that effect, we discuss specific and concrete ways to “green” study abroad courses throughout this paper, particularly within the two case studies and in our concluding discussion of strategies for international educators, faculty, and higher education administrators.
