THEME: OUR CHANGING CLIMATE
As our global climate continues to change, growing warmer and less hospitable to human habitation, it is not surprising that the climate of international education is changing with it. It is no longer enough to simply talk about ‘greening’ internationalisation or making our climate impact neutral; instead, we must ask how we can leverage sectoral strengths to work towards addressing these challenges. This issue of Forum investigates the possible paths toward sustainable internationalisation, highlighting the obstacles we face and sharing learning from examples of action already in practice.
