The book "Sustainability Transition and Global Citizenship in the Digital Era: Innovations in Universities" offers a timely and nuanced exploration of the critical role of higher education. The book is based on a background of climate emergencies, a deepening of social inequalities, and a digital revolution that simultaneously connects and divides. This suggests that as crucibles of knowledge and innovation, universities must fundamentally transform to prepare future generations with the competencies for a just and sustainable future. The main contribution of this book lies in its practicality on innovations. Stepping from mere philosophical criticism, it examines cutting-edge curricular changes, digital pedagogies, community-driven learning, and institutional policies that promote global citizenship. It considers how we can embrace digital tools not for passive consumption, but for collective problem solving across borders, and enable students to stand out as active global agents. This book provides a dual contribution to the literature. Firstly, it integrates the relatively fragmented discourses of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Global Citizenship Education (GCED) under the context of digital transformation. Second, the volume offers a wealth of case studies and frameworks that educators, administrators, and policymakers alike can turn to as they redefine the university’s social contract in the twenty-first century.

This book contributes to debates on current sustainability practices, with a focus on assessment tools as applied in higher education institutions. These institutions are challenged to carry out management, research, and teaching, and to create settings that allow developing new competencies to address the complex global environmental, social, cultural, and economic pressures with which current and future generations are confronted.The first chapters discuss issues of sustainability in higher education, namely the role of universities in promoting sustainability and the emergent fields of sustainability science and education for sustainable development and how to integrate and motivate sustainability into the university. Subsequent chapters present examples of sustainability assessment tools specifically developed for higher education institutions, such as the AISHE – Auditing Instrument for Sustainability in Higher Education, the GASU – Graphical Assessment of Sustainability in Universities too, the STAUNCH – Sustainability tool for Auditing Universities Curricula in Higher Education. The use of other integrated tools are also presented. The papers have adopted a pragmatic approach, characterized by conceptual descriptions, including sustainability assessment and reorienting the curricula, on the one hand, and practical experiences on the other, with good practices from different edges of the world.Sustainability Assessment Tools in Higher Education Institutions will be of interest to graduate student, lecturers, researchers, and those setting university policy.

Including considerations of sustainability in universities’ activities has long since become mainstream. However, there is still much to be done with regard to the full integration of sustainability thinking into science and engineering curricula. Among the problems that hinder progress in this field, the lack of sound information on how to actually implement it is prominent. Created in order to address this need, this book presents a wealth of information on innovative approaches, methods and tools that may be helpful in translating sustainability principles into practice.
