Abstract
The Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) Compendium of Embedding Education for Sustainable Development in Teaching, Learning and Assessment exemplifies the university’s commitment to embedding Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) across teaching and learning. It showcases how TUS integrates research-informed practices into programme design, teaching, and assessment, equipping students to tackle global sustainability challenges. Specifically, the compendium highlights innovative approaches aligned with the ESD for 2030 Priority Action Areas, focusing on policy advancement, learning environment transformation, educator capacity building, youth empowerment, and local-level action. This compendium serves as a practical guide for educators, students, and stakeholders, presenting best practices, case studies, and insights into how ESD can be meaningfully embedded within higher education. By sharing these approaches, TUS aims to inspire and support a university-wide culture of sustainability, ensuring that all students are equipped to contribute to a more sustainable world.This paper will present some of these best practice case studies.
