In addition to reflecting an awareness of environmental issues campus programmes demonstrate how seriously universities take sustainability at the institutional level.There is a lack of truly interdisciplinary publications that comprehensively address the issue of campus greening and there is an even greater need for publications that do so at a truly international level.
