Abstract

This chapter explores the critical role of sustainability in the higher education sector, emphasising its potential to foster resilience, innovation, and equitable development. At first, the multifaceted dimensions of sustainability in the higher education sector are examined, beginning with a review of its current state and its alignment—or misalignment—with sustainability goals. Subsequent sections explore the integration of sustainability principles into curricula, the adoption of innovative teaching methods, and the pivotal role of technology in reshaping learning experiences. Additionally, the chapter addresses the importance of fostering inclusivity and equity within higher educational systems to ensure that sustainability efforts benefit all members of society. Sustainability in the Arab World is examined at the end of the chapter where the barriers, opportunities, and case studies of success are put into context.
