Satat Framework for Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Campus Development in Higher Educational Institutions.

Abstract

Current scientific understanding indicates that humanity is rapidly altering the Earth’s ecological systems and consuming its natural resources in an unsustainable way. Resolving this crisis will require total system transformation by adopting the principles of sustainability. Respect for life and living within limits are two core principles to achieve this. We believe that higher education is in a unique position to lead this transformation. In fact, in the recent age, sustainability has become a critical requirement for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) campuses. HEIs need to foster a culture of sustain ability and promote green lifestyles in the campus community through curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.
