- Building a resilient world: the contribution of architecture curricula to sustainable developmentPublication . Leal Filho, Walter; Albrecht, Clarissa Ferreira; Lange Salvia, Amanda; Frandoloso, Marcos Antonio Leite; Henrique, João Paulino Pires Eustachio; Haddrell, Carl; Iyer-Raniga, Usha; Dinis, Maria Alzira Pimenta; Borsari, Bruno; Diaz-Sarachaga, Jose Manuel; Emadeldin, YasminPurpose: The design of buildings and urban areas holds immense potential to shape sustainability, encompassing considerations of material usage, energy efficiency and environmental impacts throughout construction and life cycle. Architects play a pivotal role in this endeavour. In the evolving landscape of architectural education, there remains a significant gap in understanding the full scope of its potential and challenges. This study aims to explore the role of higher education institutions and explores the extent to which architecture curricula contribute to sustainable development. Design/methodology/approach: The study used an online survey, designed around sustainability frameworks to assess how architecture curricula incorporate sustainability. It gathered 110 responses from 30 countries, with data analysed using non-parametric tests (Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney U test) to examine country-level differences and barriers to integrating sustainability. Findings: The findings reveal a prevalent consideration of sustainability in curricula, with a notable emphasis on environmental dimensions, closely followed by social and economic aspects. However, challenges persist, notably the lack of sustainability training for educators and limited time allocation for integrating sustainability components into educational programmes. Originality/value: This study’s novelty lies in its comprehensive investigation into the emphasis placed on sustainability within architecture education. It offers original insights collected from diverse universities worldwide through the documentation of trends observed across 30 countries, providing valuable insights on the training landscape for architects and paving the way for informed strategies to enhance sustainability integration in architectural curricula and practice.
- Governance in the implementation of the UN sustainable development goals in higher education: global trendsPublication . Leal Filho, Walter; Abubakar, Ismaila Rimi; mifsud, Mark; Henrique, João Paulino Pires Eustachio; Albrecht, Clarissa Ferreira; Dinis, Maria Alzira Pimenta; Borsari, Bruno; Sharifi, Ayyoob; Levesque, Vanessa; Ribeiro, Priscilla Cristina Cabral; LeVasseur, Todd J.; Pace, Paul; Trevisan, Laís; Dibbern, Thais AparecidaGovernance is a key component for implementing sustainable development (SD) initiatives in university teaching, research, and projects. This line of thinking also applies to implementing the United Nations (UN) sustainable development goals (SDGs). Despite the role of governance in guiding processes related to the SDGs, few studies have examined these relations in an integrative manner in higher education. To bridge this knowledge gap, this study assesses the connections between governance and implementing the SDGs at higher education institutions (HEIs). Specifically, it relies on two main methods. The first is a bibliometric analysis, where the literature on the topic has been analyzed. The second method uses case studies from a sample of universities. The combined dual approach has identified the extent to which governance issues influence how these organizations perceive and handle the SDGs. The study provides valuable recommendations that may assist HEIs in implementing the SDGs with a due emphasis on governance.
- Influences of the Covid-19 pandemic on the impact factor of a sample of environment/sustainability-related journalsPublication . Leal Filho, Walter; Dinis, Maria Alzira Pimenta; Salvia, Amanda Lange; Gomes, Bárbara Maria Fritzen; Vasconcelos, Claudio Ruy Portela de; Albrecht, Clarissa FerreiraPurpose The COVID-19 pandemic has led to changes in academic routines. These changes have also contributed to an increase in the number of papers submitted to journals, citations and, ultimately, to changes in metrics. This study aims to address a gap between theory and practice, analysing the changes in the impact factor (IF) of a sample of 30 environment/sustainability-related journals, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach The study used an expert-driven literature analysis and an assessment of a selected sample of 30 environment/sustainability-related journals’ increased trends. Findings The unprecedented trend observed when analysing the results obtained in the IF of environment/sustainability-related journals contribute to the body of knowledge on this topic, allowing us to understand how specifically the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced scientific publishing, despite the restrictions imposed by lockdowns and access to research knowledge and facilities. Research limitations/implications Based on a sample of 30 environment/sustainability-related journals, this study can highlight lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting specific measures which may be addressed to contribute to upkeep levels of publishing in the environment/sustainability field covered in this study. Practical implications This study will contribute to setting the stage for additional research on the influences of the COVID-19 pandemic on scientific publishing’s impact in environment/sustainability areas of knowledge. The implications of this research will allow us to set the basis for more extensive research in other areas of knowledge. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is unique, as it addresses the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic in 30 considered exemplary environment/sustainability-related journals, the main research area of all the authors involved in this publication.
