Abstract Despite the abundance of studies focused on how higher education institutions (HEIs) are implementing sustainable development (SD) in their educational programmes, there is a paucity interdisciplinary exploring role technology, such as data science, an SD context. Further research thus needed to identify being deployed (HE), generating positive externalities for society and environment. This study aims address this gap by various ways which science may support university efforts towards SD. The methodology relied bibliometric analysis understand visualise connections between HE, well reporting selected case showing be creating impact HE community. results from unveil five strands driving field, exemplify them. can considered innovative since it follows previous artificial intelligence Moreover, combination provides overview trends, useful researchers decision‐makers who wish explore use HEIs. Finally, findings highlight used HEIs, combined with framework developed further into HE.

Therefore, every day more are joining the fight against global warming. One contributions HEIs is carbon footprint (CF) report, to implement policies management systems establish strategies reduce polluting gas emissions from their campuses. In present study, systematic review was carried out for 50 reports CF, where 94% studies were published 2018 2022. This research compiles methodologies, scope, results, trends Carbon Footprint calculations provides procedure evaluate CF on college shows that most evaluated emission sources consumption electrical energy (78%), transportation (74%), use fuels (64%). addition, with lowest factors electricity Finland, England, Colombia. Furthermore, establishing specific guideline universities would improve allow better comparisons between HEIs.
