Literature Review: A systematic search of academic databases (Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science) was conducted
using relevant keywords related to higher education, sustainability, and the green economy. The search includ-
ed peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, books, and reports published in English. Articles
were screened based on their titles and abstracts, and relevant references were examined to identify key con-
cepts, theories, frameworks, and empirical evidence.
Policy Documents and Case Studies: Policy documents at international, national, and institutional levels were reviewed to understand the con-
text and initiatives promoting sustainability in higher education. These included government reports, strategic
plans, and policy frameworks. Case studies from diverse geographical regions and sustainable higher edu-
cation institutions were selected to provide real-world examples of best practices and successful outcomes in
integrating sustainability.
Limitations: Several limitations should be acknowledged. The choice of databases and search terms may have influ-
enced the coverage of the literature review. Additionally, the inclusion criteria focused on recent publications
and full-text availability, potentially excluding older or inaccessible articles. The analysis of policy documents
and case studies relied on the availability of resources and may not capture the entire range of initiatives. Fi-
nally, there is a possibility of bias in the interpretation and synthesis of findings.
Despite these limitations, this research aims to offer a comprehensive overview of the role of higher edu-
cation in shaping a sustainable green economy. The methodology employed allows for the synthesis of key
concepts, theories, frameworks, and empirical evidence, providing valuable insights for policymakers, educa-
tors, and stakeholders interested in sustainability.
