The first examines environmental politics and ecology in&nbsp;New Zealand and the Cook Islands and the second compares sustainable urban&nbsp;practices in Canada and the United States. Based on the lessons learned from&nbsp;these case studies, we will argue that partnership between internationalization and&nbsp;sustainability efforts is necessary to help institutions of higher learning become&nbsp;both global and “green.” To that effect, we discuss specific and concrete ways&nbsp;to “green” study abroad courses throughout this paper, particularly within the&nbsp;two case studies and in our concluding discussion of strategies for international&nbsp;educators, faculty, and higher education administrators.</p> ER -
