Abstract
Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) have always been the role model of innovative ideas and new thinking in the world, but with the environmental challenges growing more sharply, the role of the universities needs to be reimagined otherwise the transition to sustainable world will become much harder. With the rapid pace of urbanisation, the cities are more oriented towards concretisation rather than focussing on green-blue sustainability concerns. This paper attempts to appraise the green-blue sustainability initiatives taken up by various HEIs around the globe. The Indian Institutions need to learn from them and start giving due consideration to embedding green-blue sustainability initiatives into their campuses. The initiatives taken up by the different campuses can serve as the benchmarks for Indian Institutions to adopt and comply with them.
