Abstract

The current research aims to identify the theoretical foundations of green universities in terms of concept, origin, justifications, objectives, benefits, principles, requirements and global classifications, and to identify the experience of American green universities (California, Davis and Connecticut), and to reveal the reality of the efforts of transforming Egyptian universities into green universities, and to conduct a comparative analysis to identify similarities and differences, and to reach some proposed procedures for transforming Egyptian universities into green universities in light of the experience of the two American universities and the criteria of the global green ranking scale for universities. To achieve its objectives, the research relied on the comparative approach, and the research reached several results, including: Green universities enhance general awareness among their students, employees and clients to reduce costs, rationalize the use of energy and water and reduce harmful emissions, and the lack of awareness of faculty members at Egyptian universities about environmental education, its importance, skills and methods of employing it to serve their universities.
