The profile of Sustainability in Higher Education (SHE) is gradually becoming mainstream in society and sustainability reporting is growing in prominence in higher education worldwide. In this context, this website strives to facilitate and promote SHE by acting as a one-stop shop for guidance, information, inspiration and networking, catering to both experts and non-experts.

Launched in January 2011, this online platform is a core element of my Sustainable University 21 proposal (Sustainable University 21: An integrated endeavour in Education, Research, Engagement and Marketing) that adopts a Sustainable University model comprising three dimensions, namely:
 Campus and campus family
 Knowledge, skills and values
 Community and wider world

This one-stop shop is complemented by five satellite websites:
 News and Information
 Publications
 Good Practice
 Micro-blog (on Twitter)
 Quotes & Facts 

Turning to me, I am reading for MSc Sustainability, Environment and Change (with a strong climate change focus) at Kingston University London. I have played a key role in communications at the London RCE (Regional Centre of Expertise) on ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) as an intern.

This website, developed innovatively using free resources on the Web, has been a rich learning experience for me. It shows my initiative, capacity and passion in the context of SHE. By showcasing this website, I intend to find funding for my Sustainable University 21 (SU21) proposal (or a similar one) from a university, a consortium of universities or a higher education body – in the UK or outside.

Finally, many thanks to all who have contributed to Sustainability in Higher Education worldwide, especially those whose work that has enriched this website. Please note that, because this is an experiment in the absence of any academic supervision, the coverage is not comprehensive and I may have made errors. Apologies for any such shortcomings….

If you are interested in my SU21 proposal or would like to comment on this website, please contact me on: asitha_jayawardena@yahoo.com

Hope you will enjoy my website….
