The document discusses students as educational entrepreneurs for sustainability. It describes how students can create learning spaces for sustainability within standard university curriculums, new interactive platforms, and by organizing institutional support. Examples are given of projects students have led to increase awareness and build capacity for sustainability, including a library and lecture series. Support for student entrepreneurs is also discussed, including training programs and funding.
