IN A NUTSHELL

Editor's Note

As part of a 2020 published book, an abstract here from a chapter entitled ‘Universities in the Early Decades of the Third Millennium: Saving the World from Itself?’ and authored by PEAH acknowledged partner *Dr. George Lueddeke.

Recognizing, under One Health perspective, the need to change our worldview (belief systems) from human-centrism to eco-centrism, and re-building of trust in our institutions, the chapter argues for the re-conceptualization of the university/higher education purpose and scope focusing on the development of an interconnected ecological knowledge system with a concern for the whole Earth – and beyond.

Originally from Canada, now residing in the United Kingdom, George Lueddeke PhD MEd Dipl.AVES (Hon.) is an education advisor in Higher, Medical and One Health education and global lead of the International One Health for One Planet Education initiative (1 HOPE) in association with national, regional, and global organisations.
