Overview

The sustainability integration framework identifies gaps in sustainability practices in UK universities, suggesting cultural change through transdisciplinary collaboration and engagement.

Key Points

  • Many universities are stuck in supplementary phases of sustainability, indicating a need for cultural change and deeper integration of sustainability practices.
  • Barriers to achieving sustainable integration include ambiguity in policy and academic inertia, stressing the importance of concerted efforts.
  • The research employs critical discourse analysis to explore stakeholder perspectives and sustainability policies across eight UK universities.
  • A comprehensive framework for assessing sustainability integration offers actionable insights for higher education institutions to promote transformative change.
