The UN proclamation of 2005–2014 as the decade of education for sustainable development has been instrumental in creating awareness and driving higher education institutions (HEIs) in integrating sustainability into their system. The purpose of this paper is to explore and encapsulate practices adopted by universities and colleges across the globe in integrating sustainability in education (here refers to curriculum and pedagogy), research, campus operations and outreach programs.,The review analyzed 229 peer-reviewed research studies in the time period 2005–2018 selected from 44 journals. The literature review was done in phases. The first phase was the selection of the database, the second phase was refining the database by eliminating irrelevant studies and the last phase was distributing selected studies on the basis of the journal, year and country of publication, research paradigm, sustainability integration in higher education, teaching techniques adopted by HEIs and research focus in publications.,This study contributes to the literature review of sustainability in higher education. From the literature review, it is evident that sustainability has made inroads into HEIs, but only a few universities have been successful in implementing it holistically, integrating all the triple bottom line dimensions in balance.,The study has practical implications for HEIs planning to integrate sustainability into teaching and learning and other aspects of educational practices. The findings and the examples of successful implementation of sustainable education by institutions around the world would help universities and colleges in formulating policies, strategies and practices that would promote sustainability on campuses.,The literature reviews on sustainability in higher education so far have focused either on curricula, pedagogical approaches, assessment and reporting or barriers and solutions. This study attempts to offer a comprehensive view of the initiatives adopted by the institutions in incorporating sustainability in education, research, campus operations and outreach programs.

协同教育,研究,校园运营和社区参与,以实现高等教育的可持续性:文献综述

联合国宣布2005-2014年为可持续发展教育十年,这有助于树立意识并推动高等教育机构(HEIs)将可持续性纳入其体系。本文的目的是探索和总结全球大学和学院在将可持续性纳入教育(此处指课程和教学法),研究,校园运营和外展计划中所采用的实践。该评论分析了229篇同行评审研究从44种期刊中选取2005-2018年期间的研究。文献综述是分阶段进行的。第一阶段是数据库的选择,第二阶段是通过消除不相关的研究来完善数据库,最后一个阶段是根据期刊分发选择的研究,出版年份和国家,研究范式,高等教育的可持续性整合,高等教育机构采用的教学技术以及出版物的研究重点。本研究有助于对高等教育的可持续性进行文献综述。从文献综述中可以明显看出,可持续性已侵入高校,但只有少数几所大学成功地全面实施了可持续发展,将所有三重底线维度进行了平衡。该研究对高校计划进行整合具有实际意义。可持续性纳入教学和其他方面的教育实践。研究结果和世界各地机构成功实施可持续教育的实例将有助于大学制定政策,促进校园可持续性的策略和实践。迄今为止,有关高等教育可持续性的文献评论都集中在课程,教学方法,评估和报告或障碍和解决方案上。本研究试图提供有关机构在将可持续性纳入教育,研究,校园运营和外展计划中所采取的举措的全面视图。
