Abstract
In a backdrop where sustainability efforts and interventions have existed for more than half a century, a question worth asking is what still makes it a “goal” that needs to be achieved. Extending from that argument, this chapter explores barriers to embedding sustainability in higher education and proceeds to examine new developments and emerging trends in education for sustainability. We conclude on the note that sustainability is not a destination but an ever-continuing experience of transformative learning that needs to be maintained at the pace of social transformations. The barriers to and emerging trends in education for sustainability are not limited to those identified in this chapter. It is best if they are treated as points of departure for further research in the area of education for sustainability in higher education.
