... So, such initiatives should be enforced because there is hardly any awareness by so many people. This is an important point of view because successful experiences in sustainability show their need to influence people without authority (Newman 2013). ...
The aim of this paper is to discuss the application of sustainability in Brazilian universities, emphasizing the preconditions for implementation and the barriers and difficulties for its application. The methodology approach is based in a theoretical background and on the gathering of empirical evidence. Due to the scope of the study and the nature of the methodological approach, the survey, by no means, can be regarded as representative. However, since it is combined with the review of the literature, it builds a rough profile of the status of the sustainability in Brazilian universities. Larger studies can be undertaken at a later stage, provided that the necessary staff time and funding are available. The results indicate positive experiences and opportunities; risks, threats and obstacles; creativity and new solutions for Brazilian universities. This paper will be useful to academics and researchers interested in the topic of sustainability in higher education institutions in Brazil and other developing countries.
