Global Higher Education for Sustainability Partnership (GHESP) – A WSSD Type 2 Partnership

Three higher education organizations (ULSF, the International Association of Universities (IAU), and COPERNICUS-CAMPUS) and UNESCO, have combined forces in a unique effort to mobilize universities and higher education institutions to support sustainable development. The major GHESP objectives for the next five years include the following:

• promote expanded endorsement and full implementation of the Talloires,Kyoto, and Copernicus declarations;

• enhance the development of regional centres of excellence in both developed and developing countries, and effective networking among them;

• produce an action-oriented Toolkit for universities, managers,administrators, faculty and students designed to move from commitment to concrete action.
