With sustainability climbing the agenda throighout higher education, many universities are rethinking how they teach it – not just in environmental science programmes but across the board. What does meaningful integration of sustainability into varied curricula look like in practice, and how can educators bring students with them on the journey towards understanding and addressing climate change?
