In this issue, a case for sustainability laboratories is also made, with an example from Harvard presented by Woolliams, Lloyd and Spengler. A critical analysis of the factors which influence sustainability in higher educations institutions is provided in a paper written by Velasquez et al., and the steps to be taken in forming a community partnership to enhance education in sustainability are outlined by Allen-Gil, Walker, Thomas, Shevory and Shapiro.
