The UAM Cuajimalpa: Reflections in its tenth anniversary

Author: Miriam Alfie-Cohen y Cynthia Nayeli Martínez-Fernández
Abstract: Viewed from a critical perspective, this paper discusses the role of higher education institutions in combating environmental degradation. It uses the case of the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Cuajimalpa, which has adopted environmental sustainability as a guiding principle in its plans and curricula. In its 10 years of existence, the Cuajimalpa campus has acquired its own personality,
incorporating sustainability as a transversal principle in teaching, research, management and cultural dissemination.
