OUTLINE: Pharos University in Alexandria, Egypt is embracing a sustainability-focused pedagogy, guided by the 5Cs model for sustainable development in HEIs, with students at its core. The university aims to build a sustainability mindset of the students through curriculum, culture, campus activities, and by engaging them in collaborative research. Additionally, the university is planning to transform into a “Green Campus” and establish a “Sustainability Center”. This center will serve as a hub for assessing, supporting, monitoring sustainability efforts, while also fostering interdisciplinary sustainable field projects.
