title = "The journey towards sustainability via community: lessons from two UK universities",
abstract = "The aims of this chapter are to explore what community means within a university, and how it relates to sustainability action. We refer to the internal community created among university members: academic and support staff, estates and operations staff, senior management and students. These aims are pursued within the context of individuals adopting pro-environmental behaviour, groups of people collectively focusing on sustainability values and shifting social norms, and the institution as an organisation undergoing change through effective governance for sustainability. We firstly unfold the narratives of the journeys towards sustainability in our respective institutions, and, secondly analyse our experiences. Our premise is that the creation of community (values) in an institution enhances sustainability action (behaviour), which in turn facilitates the development of community again.",
