À propos de cet audio

Higher Education and Climate! Isn't higher education supposed to find a solution to the crisis that we are facing with Climate? Yes, apparently it does. However, the very process of knowledge generation and knowledge gathering in Higher Education is exaggerating the crisis. These podcasts are going to focus on the impact of Higher Education on Climate Crisis and try to dig deep into related issues for the sake of mobilizing knowledge and spread awareness throughout the world.

  • International Student and Scholar mobility in Higher Education: impact on environment
    Jun 29 2025

    Hundreds and thousands of students are traveling to countries throughout the world every year for acquiring knowledge and gaining prestige. Scholars are conferencing to and fro to know and to let know other scholars of their generated knowledge with the hope for the development and improvement of the world. However, the very same actions are fueling the climate crisis in the world. Unknowingly we may have often overlooked the issue. International mobility for higher education is something the necessity of which can never be denied. However, the darkness underneath the light is alarming.
