Zennström Professor Keri Facer has written a report on Higher Education in the era of Climate Change, published by the Higher Education Policy Institute. This report argues for radically restructuring education and universities in response to the challenges of climate change.

Higher Education in the era of Climate ChangeDownload

This report on Internalisation and Sustainability provides a brief exploration of the relationship between internationalisation and sustainability agendas in the contemporary university. It reports on a desk research by the CCL team and a workshop bringing together university leadership, students, faculty and administrative staff. It identifies key tensions, possibilities, and routes towards achieving more sustainable internationalisation strategies in universities. The report has been compiled rapidly to respond to current debates and is intended as the basis for wider discussion.
