An in-depth literature review of the evolving roles and contributions of universities to Education for Sustainable Development

The State of Research on Cleaner Production in Brazil

“…Therefore, the implementation of these thematics enhances sustainable development in Brazil. Karatzoglou (2013) confirm this result, and concludes that the adoption of CP principles in production systems is an excellent strategy for sustainable development. Another relevant aspect is that the most used research methods are case studies (many of which are exploratory), theoretical descriptive research, and laboratory research, surveys, and bibliometric analyses.…”

“…Thus, it is necessary to promote CP in these business segments. Karatzoglou (2013) states that sustainable development in countries may be enhanced with the implementation of CP in all business segments. For instance, Deng et al (2015) indicate that opportunities exist to reduce the occupational risk in the tannery sector by minimizing carbon dioxide generation as a CP strategy.…”

“…Fluidized bed reactors, membrane reactors, and thermally coupled reactors are more viable, and have the potential to contribute to CP. Karatzoglou (2013) compiled a literature review of education for sustainable development from articles published between 2003 and 2011. The results showed that CP is an excellent strategy for sustainable development.…”

“…The Journal of Cleaner Production (JCP) has published many articles on CP (Karatzoglou, 2013). Moreover, it promotes and assists various workshops around the world to develop CP research.…”

Coherence of Work Based Learning and Regional Development in Latvia

“…The strongest focus on the young people of the EU-2020 Strategy is defined in one of its flagship initiatives -Youth on the Move [11], which is the second supranational strategic planning document to be explored in this chapter. Although it primarily contains a number of policy initiatives for the development and involvement of young people, it is also connected to regional development through examining of how to support youth employment, educational opportunities and higher education infrastructure [24]. The development and integration of young people is mainly seen through facilitation of education, training and employment and providing adequate social safety in different paths of young people`s lives and their involvement [30], as well as avoiding adoption of different approach based on gender [1], different vocational education levels as well as payment systems [2].…”
