Abstract
In response to growing social concern about environmental degradation and intensifying calls for a transition to a more sustainable society, universities have begun to change their educational missions and practices to include and address sustainability. In recent years, the role of universities in the context of the social transition towards sustainability has started to be an important issue of scientific interest. Universities play a key role in addressing global environmental issues, as their education, research, and community engagement can produce long-lasting environmental impacts and societal change. Universities have significant impact on society and their stakeholders by demonstrating best practices in their operations, research, and teaching. For universities to comprehensively address sustainability, a 'learning for sustainability' approach needs to be synergistically embedded in every aspect of institutional operations. The aim of this study is to present a comparative evaluation by considering the importance of sustainability activities in universities.
