Sustainability Policies

Abstract

Sustainability policies can be characterized as dynamic, complex, and interactive systems through which environmental problems are identified and countered by creating new policies or by reforming existing policies with the objective to improve environmental performance and to collaborate with sustainable development processes. They encompass human and ecological health, social justice, secure livelihoods, and a better world for all generations and can be created both by public and private sectors. In this context, it should be emphasized that higher education institutions play a fundamental role in the formulation, implementation, and discussion of policies aimed at sustainability.
