Better Together
AASHE values the important role that all sectors of society can play in advancing global sustainability. Higher education, along with businesses, governments and civil society organizations around the globe, have significant impacts on human and ecological health. While we believe that higher education can be the foundation for creating a thriving, equitable and ecologically healthy world, we embrace and support the contributions that all sectors make to provide a better world for all generations.
