Abstract
An important challenge facing post secondary institutions today is how to transform themselves into agents for sustainability. The Sustainable Campuses: Sharing our knowledge for Social and Environmental Sustainability is an initiative that works to encourage this transformation through the sharing of knowledge and experience between educational institutions of the North and the South. Through a collaborative and participatory action research approach this initiative seeks to identify factors that support institutional sustainability in post secondary institutions. Our -findings propose that a supportive administration, engaged faculty and empowered students are important drivers for institutional sustainability.
