Environmental and Social Quality Assurance for Globally Financed Developmental Cooperation

Abstract: Today in our rule-based societies, higher education providers use sets of quality criteria for defining, implementing and monitoring quality on the level of individual learning. Equally, in the domain of “collective learning”, such compliance has to be guaranteed: the world’s international financial institutions (IFIs) and their “environmental and social quality criteria” are here seen as a lever for society to master the new challenges of climate change in a worldwide environment full of competitors, and competing paradigms.
