Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The United Nations Agenda 2030 and its Sustainable Development Goals, the International Sustainable Campus Network Best Practices, the World Resources Institute Greenhouse Gas Protocol, and GRI Sustainability reporting are very much in line with sustainability targets. Sustainability is currently facing a global push in five critical dimensions: people, prosperity, planet, partnership, and peace.

University campuses are ideal premises for testing new solutions and applying best practices as living labs, with the ability to cover sustainability in all its basic dimensions: social inclusion, economic growth, and environmental protection.

This Special Issue aims at bringing together innovative case studies from all over the world to help boost science for sustainability within the scientific community. The submission of case studies related to social, economic, and environmental factors is especially encouraged.
