Abstract:
This study explores the awareness of higher educational institutions’ contribution to incorporating sustainability into their core functions of teaching and research in Jordan using data collected through in-depth interviews with academic and administrative personnel.
The study revealed that the most implemented practices on sustainability are affordable and clean energy, quality education, industry innovation and infrastructure, and gender equality. Universities of Jordan have shown positive efforts to develop curricula and design programmes and promote sustainable research in specific topics. However, the study showed some of the challenges facing universities incorporating sustainability practices, such as the political and economic problems, limited resources, financial challenges, and lack of government support.
