| What role is higher education believed to play in addressing the ecological crisis? | a unique po- sition to lead this transformation | New Delhi November, 2019 Current scientific understanding indicates that humanity is rapidly altering the Earth’s ecological sys- tems and consuming its natural resources in an unsustainable way.
