Article Type: News From: International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education, Volume 10, Issue 4
The sustainability tool STAUNCH© is an assessment tool developed to allow higher education institutions to measure their contributions to teaching from a sustainable development perspective. In many higher education institutions, there has been strong progress in incorporating sustainability into research, buildings and operations; however, many are struggling to apply this to the curricula. STAUNCH evaluates course descriptions by grading them against 36 criteria divided into economic, environmental and social aspects as well as cross-cutting themes.
