Abstract

Todder Kersrtyi

Higher education institutions play a critical role in addressing the complex challenges posed by the ongoing socio-ecological crisis. Reaccreditation, a process aimed at maintaining and enhancing the quality of education, presents a unique opportunity for institutions to integrate sustainability literacy into their curricula. This article explores how reaccreditation can serve as a lever for innovation in higher education, facilitating the incorporation of sustainability literacy across disciplines. It delves into the importance of sustainability literacy, the role of reaccreditation, and strategies for effectively infusing sustainability across curricula. By embracing sustainability as a core component, institutions can equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate and contribute to a more sustainable future.
