The greening of higher education in the Western Balkans, neighbourhood East and South, and Central Asia regions : strategies, perspectives, actions

The network of Higher Education Reform Experts (HERE) has been in existence since 2007, when it was part of the TEMPUS programme. Its role is to help build the capacity of higher education institutions in third countries not associated to the Erasmus+ programme in four neighbourhood regions: the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo and Montenegro); Neighbourhood East (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine); South- Mediterranean (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Tunisia); and Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan). Each of these countries has a team of HERE nominated by the National Erasmus Office (NEO). This publication - on the greening of higher education in HERE countries: strategies, perspectives, actions - is based on a combination of desk-based research and focus group dialogue. It examines the extent to which the higher education systems in the third countries have actively taken measures to assist the mitigation of, and adaptation to, the threats inherent in rapid and lasting climate change.
