Education, Communication and Environmental Management: Complementary Strategies for the Construction of Sustainable Universities

Abstract

University sustainability has established itself as a fundamental axis in global educational policies. This article explores the interaction between education, communication and environmental management as key strategies to foster sustainable universities. Through an updated bibliographic review and a case study in Latin American universities, it is evident how these dimensions, when integrated in a synergistic way, allow a structural change in the institutional culture towards more environmentally responsible practices. It is concluded that a transversal, inclusive and participatory strategy is essential to achieve a sustainable transformation in the university environment.
