This article discusses the concept of imagining HEIs as Complex Adaptive Systems and how they can contribute to sustainability through governance and policy changes.
Education in particular Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are considered pivotal in promoting and implementing the targets of the United Nations-Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs). However, frameworks, curriculums, pedagogies and governance policies best suited for promoting sustainability through HEIs are still widely debated. The present letter, therefore emphasises on imagining HEIs as Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) instead of rigid units that are capable of adaptation and evolution based on the 'feedbacks and demands' of the society to which they cater. The article attempts to define the basic attributes of CAS and how can they prove beneficial in transitioning HEIs towards sustainability by fostering governance and policy changes.
