| Abstract |
Sustainability has been a mayor concern over the last three decades since in 1988 James Hansen Former director of Nasa declared about green gas emissions and its impact in changing the climate, in a testimony to the US senate. Declaring for the first time the possibility of human race extinction impact; since then there has been a lot of work, controversy, and research on the matter. This paper is related to the importance of Sustainability in Higher Education institutions has part of the core skills and competences that new professionals need and about the main role Universities must have to be part and contribute to society. The case analyzed the methodologies of the current only two Sustainability University rankings, compares them and proposed a Knowledge Management strategy to implement and enhance sustainability practices in higher education institutions. The application of a SECI model approach should be implemented at the University, however the sustainability knowledge is still very basic among the community of students who are not very aware of the University efforts, programs, or related policies. Socialization within the SECI model encourages the sharing of tacit knowledge related to sustainability practices among students and the community in general, some aspects of Circular Economy have been reviewed. The use of sustainability rankings helps in creating a shared understanding and commitment to sustainable goals in the community and validates the use of a Knowledge Management approach to enhance sustainability in higher education institutions. |
