Towards the Sustainable University.

No / All universities have the capacity to embrace, embed or ignore
sustainable development. Looking across the sector and reflecting on
the past seven years and my own institutional experiences, the key
finding is that change for campus and curriculum-based sustainability is
clearly possible but unpredictable.
For many years my own institution (University of Bradford) struggled to
make progress in a number of key aspects of `campus greening¿ including
recycling, green build, energy management, green travel, fair trade etc.
It employed its first environmental manager as recently as 2003. Up until
2007, education for sustainable development (ESD) was largely found
in one small academic department. Now, as this paper describes, it is a
central feature of the learning and teaching strategy for the university
and an overall institutional objective.
