高等教育永續治理之內涵與實踐

Connotation and Practice of Sustainable Governance in Higher Education Institutions

高等教育機構在鼓勵永續發展方面存在著至關重要的作用，無論是透過教育、研究、營運、社區夥伴關係等四層面，皆有效推進永續發展概念與目標。本文高等教育機構之「大學」泛指學院、大學、技術機構、社區學院，其功能除了作為一個典型的可信組織之外，如同一個小型社會，將永續實踐融入社區，並激勵學生、教師和訪客為此做出改變。大學可以透過多種方法實現上述目標，最常見的是由行政部門、學生和教師或兩者混合倡導的變革，即從上而下和自下而上雙軌並行的作法。總體而言，永續大學透過開拓新實踐對後代進行教育，以賦予他（她）們創造和變革的特殊能力，使其在永續發展中發揮關鍵影響力。本研究也藉由研析歐洲七所永續大學的校園永續營運，了解其在永續大學四層面的實際做法，以作為我國大學校園永續治理的參考典範。

The higher education institutions (HEIs) play a crucial role in promoting sustainability, whether through education, research, operations, community partnerships, or other aspects. HEIs, which include colleges, universities, technical institutions, and community colleges, serve as trusted organizations and, like small societies, integrate sustainable practices into their communities. They inspire students, faculty, and visitors to make positive changes. Universities can achieve these goals through various methods, often involving both top-down and bottom-up approaches. Sustainable universities empower future generations by fostering new practices and providing the capacity to create and influence change. This study examines the campus sustainability actions of seven European sustainable universities, offering insights into their practical approaches and distinctive features for sustainable governance, which can serve as reference models for universities in Taiwan.
