Sustainability in Academia is an initiative from the collaboration between WWF Switzerland, the Network for Business Sustainability and the University of St Gallen, supported by SDSN Switzerland. The platform promotes the integration of sustainability-related topics, ways of thinking, and learning methods into teaching for students to be equipped so they can tackle 21st-century challenges. It aims to provide university lecturers with high quality, curated materials related to sustainability. The materials available on the platform are carefully selected to ensure that they are both accurate and engaging, making them ideal for use in the classroom. Also, a range of tools and resources that lecturers can use to incorporate sustainability into their teaching are provided, such as workshops or presentations.
