高等教育机构准备在寻求更可持续的未来中发挥重要作用。大多数大学都以一种分隔的方式处理可持续性问题，可持续性教育仅限于特定的课程，教育往往与研究分离，两者都不太可能与可持续的校园运营联系起来。大学可以通过采用“整个大学”的可持续发展方法来优化他们作为可持续发展变革推动者的角色。这种方法明确地将研究、教育、运营和推广活动联系起来，并让学生参与其中。通过鼓励学生、学者和管理人员在课程中建立合作空间，批判性地反思大学在可持续发展方面的表现，许多积极的好处随之而来，包括提高大学可持续发展倡议的形象；为可持续发展问题提供解决方案；在学生、管理者和学者之间建立信任；为学生提供有意义的学习体验。
Institutions of higher education are poised to play a significant role in the search for a more sustainable future. Most universities are tackling sustainability issues in a compartmentalised manner, sustainability education is confined to specific courses, education is often isolated from research, and neither is likely to be linked to sustainable campus operations. Universities can optimise their role as agents of change with regard to sustainability by adopting a ‘whole-of-university’ approach to sustainability. This approach explicitly links research, educational, operational and outreach activities and engages students in each. By encouraging a collaborative space within the curriculum for students, academics and managers to critically reflect on university's performance with regard to sustainability, many positive benefits ensue, including raising the profile of university's sustainability initiatives; providing solutions to sustainability problems; building trust among students, managers and academics; and providing meaningful learning experiences for students.
