Higher education as a catalyst for life on land.

Higher Education and SDG15: Life on Land - edited by Golda A. Edwin
Book Chapter · SDG 15 — Life on Land

Positioning universities as catalysts for land restoration and biodiversity.

Despite growing awareness of biodiversity loss, many higher education institutions remain insufficiently engaged in ecosystem-based solutions. This volume closes that gap with evidence-based strategies, curricular innovations and global case studies — showing how HEIs can embed SDG 15 into teaching, research and community partnerships.

Spanning continents — from ecological literacy in Norwegian business education to agronomy curricula in Argentina, stakeholder collaboration in Switzerland and biodiversity research in Kenya — each chapter maps to SDG 15 indicators, driving localized action with global impact.

Part of Higher Education and the Sustainable Development Goals, a 17-book series edited by Wendy Purcell (Rutgers University; Harvard University).
