Calls for transforming higher education toward sustainability by academics are not new. Recently, students—both current and prospective—have actively voiced their demands for this change. They seek an education that equips them to navigate the complexities of sustainability and climate change, fostering knowledge and skills for action. In response, higher education institutions (HEIs) are formulating strategies to align their mission with sustainability goals. However, the effectiveness of these strategies, along with the underlying policies and practices, remains insufficiently studied. To address this gap, it is crucial to convene academics, professional staff, and students for discussions on necessary cultural shifts, a roadmap, and ways to monitor and evaluate this change. Such dialogues will lead to improved decision-making for transformation to achieve sustainability. Students will not only learn about sustainability in their courses but also apply them to their lives within and beyond universities that champion holistic sustainability transformation.
