Title | Green Universities and eco-friendly learning: from league tables to eco-entrepreneurship education |
Authors | Moon, C. |
Abstract | The United Nations World Summit, 2005, advocated equipping students with the knowledge and understanding, skills and attributes needed to work and live in a way that safeguards environmental, social and economic wellbeing. 2014 marked the 10th and final year of the UN Decade for Education for Sustainable Development; with over two thirds of students surveyed believing that sustainable development should be covered in their degree courses (surveyed in 2010, 2011 and 2012, People & Planet, 2015). This paper outlines recent developments in incorporating green business, sustainable products and eco-entrepreneurship into HEI business school curricula. The focus is survey research of n=150 students at one HEI in the UK, and interviews with the Head of Estates and the Director of Student Engagement, to ascertain student attitudes towards the introduction of ‘green business’ modules; and the views of senior staff on student engagement in environmental improvements. |
