GHESP), which encompasses the International Association of Universities, the Copernicus Campus, UNESCO and the Association of University Leaders for a Sustainable Future, which, in a joint effort, promote a better understanding and application of the insertion of Sustainable Development at universities and higher education institutes of Sustainable Development, by means of an interdisciplinary approach to teaching, research and extension curricula, in response to chapter 36 of Agenda 21 Global (UNESCO, 2012).
