Resumen
- español
La sostenibilidad en la Educación superior ha tomado un creciente énfasis, debido a la importancia de sus acciones hacia la sociedad. Sin embargo, se tiende a relevar el medio ambiental, cómo un único pilar, omitiéndose la sostenibilidad humana, social y económica. En este contexto, esta investigación busca describir la situación actual de la sostenibilidad en las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) chilenas. Desde un enfoque cuantitativo, se analizan las IES adscritas a la Red Campus Sustentable al 31 de julio de 2022 y con matrícula al 2022 (n= 32). Se encuentra que el tipo de sostenibilidad, con mayores acciones por institución, es la ambiental con un 18,8%, seguido de la sostenibilidad social con un 16,5% y la sostenibilidad económica 3,1%. En relación con la estructura organizativa, se encuentra que el concepto de sostenibilidad está más instalado que el de Responsabilidad Social Universitaria (RSU). Se concluye que este grupo de IES aborda la sostenibilidad, principalmente, desde la perspectiva medioambiental. Se recomienda avanzar hacia un enfoque más holístico de la sostenibilidad en la educación superior.

Sustainability in Higher Education has gained increasing emphasis due to the significance of its actions towards society. However, there is a tendency to prioritize environmental sustainability as a singular pillar, neglecting human, social, and economic sustainability. In this context, this research aims to describe the current situation of sustainability in Chilean Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Using a quantitative approach, the study analyzes HEIs affiliated with the Sustainable Campus Network as of July 31, 2022, and with enrollment data for 2022 (n=32). The findings reveal that environmental sustainability is the most addressed type, with 18.8% of institutions taking significant actions, followed by social sustainability at 16.5% and economic sustainability at 3.1%. Regarding the organizational structure, sustainability is found to be more prevalent than the concept of University Social Responsibility (USR). It is concluded that this group of HEIs primarily addresses sustainability from an environmental perspective. Moving forward to a more holistic approach to sustainability in higher education is recommended.
