The Routledge International Handbook ofHigher Education for Sustainable Development gives a systematic and comprehensive overview of existing and upcoming research approaches for higher education for sustainable development. It provides a unique resource for researchers engaged in the field of higher education for sustainable development by connecting theoretical aspects of the range of relevant methodologies, showing the interdisciplinary aspects of the research field and illustrating the breadth of research directions.With a team of international authors from leading universities in research and teaching in higher education for sustainable development this Handbook brings together a broad range of research approaches and shows how these approaches are reflected in the research practice in higher education for sustainable development. Key topics include:Research Paradigms and Methodologies Ongoing and Future Directions of ResearchMeta-Analysis and Reviews Policy and Politics Challenges for Implementation Action Research and Transdisciplinary Perspective Gender, Diversity and Post-Colonial Perspectives Operationalising Competencies Outcome-Oriented Research Curriculum Change Organisational Change and Organisational Learning Community and Partnerships University Appraisal Systems and Indicators Evaluation Approaches Engaging Academic Teachers Good Practice Learning and Teaching Transformative Leadership and Change Strategies This Handbook is an invaluable research and teaching tool for all those working in higher education for sustainable development.

Trotz aller Anstrengungen ist der bisherige Stand der Umweltbildung unbefriedigend. Internationale (z. B. UNCED 1992) und nationale Anstöße (z.B. Umweltgutachten 1994 des Sachverständigenrats für Umweltfragen) gebieten, Grundlagen und Ergebnisse bisheriger Maßnahmen zu überprüfen. Gegenstand dieser Evaluationsstudie sind über einhundert Forschungsvorhaben und Modellversuche aus den Jahren 1987 bis 1995. Kriterien der Auswertung sind Konzeptionen, Inhalte, Lernprozesse, Kooperation, Medien und Materialien, Ökologisierung, Fortbildung, Verbreitung und Anwendung sowie Innovationseffekte. Aus alledem werden konkrete Empfehlungen für eine "kulturelle Wende" der Umweltbildung abgeleitet.

Der Übergang in eine nachhaltige Gesellschaft ist eine der zentralen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit. Dazu ist eine angemessene nachhaltigkeitswissenschaftliche (Aus-)Bildung erforderlich. Das Lehrbuch Nachhaltigkeitswissenschaft von Lehrenden der Fakultät Nachhaltigkeit der Leuphana Universität Lüneburg möchte dazu einen Beitrag leisten.

Modern and professional communication is required to realise the goal of sustainability in society. This book develops a theoretical and empirical framework, integrating interdisciplinary perspectives from communications theory, psychology, sociology, educational sciences, systems theory and constructivism. Its aim is to inform the establishment of sustainability communication. Complementing this theoretical framework, the book provides methods and concepts in a range of fields such as corporate practice, education and media. The book addresses the scientific community and students as well as communicators in all categories of sustainability communication.

This textbook provides a comprehensive compilation of conceptual perspectives, methodological approaches and empirical insights of inter- and transdisciplinary sustainability science. Written by an international team of authors from leading sustainability institutions, the textbook covers key perspectives and topics of the scientific discourse on sustainable development. More than two decades after conceptualizing sustainability as societal guiding vision and regulative idea the necessity of concretizing and realizing sustainability in societal praxis is bigger than ever. Sharply improved individual and societal sustainable decision-making and action is necessary for a better future of humankind and the planet. On that account problem- and solution-oriented perspectives and competencies are crucial. The different chapters assemble an encompassing view of essential foundations and specific areas of research and action in sustainability science and practice. The textbook aims at fostering the further establishment of sustainability science in higher education and to enable the next generation of sustainability experts to tackle the challenging and exciting topic of sustainable development.
