| description | The aim of this article is to present an updated overview of the progress achieved by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Colombia in the institutionalization of the environmental engagement. The document explores the incorporation of environmental issues into domains including, in addition to the fundamental activities—teaching, research, and extension—institutional policies and participation, and environmental planning and management. A survey was conducted with 60 private and public HEIs located in different regions of the country. This is a qualitative exploratory research supported by analysis of descriptive statistics. It was carried out based on a scale fixed for each domain, which uses percentages as a basis for indicating the levels of environmental engagement of each of the HEIs. Governance and participation constituted the highest-performing domain, showing the interest of the HEIs in strengthening environmental policies. Campus management and planning was the less-performing domain. These results establish the need to generate self-regulation and institutional improvement strategies, and to promote processes for further research. |

El propósito de este artículo es presentar una visión actualizada de los avances logrados por instituciones de educación superior [IES] del país en el proceso de institucionalización del compromiso ambiental. Se indaga por la inclusión de los temas ambientales en ámbitos que incluyen, además de las funciones sustantivas de docencia, investigación y extensión, las políticas institucionales y la participación, gestión y ordenamiento ambiental. La encuesta fue diligenciada por 60 IES públicas y privadas, ubicadas en diferentes regiones del país. El carácter de la investigación es cualitativo, de tipo exploratorio, apoyado en análisis de estadística descriptiva y elaborada con base en una escala establecida para cada ámbito a partir de porcentajes que definen los niveles de compromiso ambiental de cada una de las IES. El ámbito de desempeño más alto fue el de gobierno y participación, lo cual muestra el interés de las IES por fortalecer las políticas ambientales. El más bajo fue el de gestión y ordenamiento del campus. Estos resultados establecen la necesidad, de generar estrategias de autorregulación y mejoramiento institucional, y promover procesos de continuidad de esta investigación. L’objectif de cet article est de présenter un aperçu actualisé des progrès accomplis par les Institutions d’Enseignement Supérieur (IES) en Colombie dans le processus d’institutionnalisation de l’engagement envers l’environnement. Le document examine l’incorporation de questions environnementales dans des domaines tels que les politiques institutionnelles et la participation, la gestion et l’aménagement du territoire, outre les activités fondamentales d’enseignement, de recherche, et de vulgarisation. Une enquête a été menée auprès de 60 IES publiques et privées situées dans diverses régions du pays. La présente étude est de caractère exploratoire et qualitatif, étayée par une analyse de statistique descriptive, et élaborée sur la base d’une échelle établie pour chaque domaine, dont l’usage de pourcentages détermine le niveau d’engagement vers l’environnement de chacune de ces IES. Le domaine le plus performant a été celui de la gouvernance et la participation, ce qui indique l’intérêt des IES de renfoncer les politiques environnementales. Le moins performant correspond à la gestion et l’aménagement du campus. Ces résultats soulignent la nécessité d’élaborer des stratégies d’auto-régulation et d’amélioration des institutions, et la nécessité de promouvoir des processus de poursuite de cette recherche. O propósito deste artigo é apresentar uma visão atualizada dos avanços logrados pelas instituições de educação superior [IES] do país no processo de institucionalização do compromisso ambiental. Indaga-se pela inclusão de questões ambientais em áreas que incluem, além das funções fundamentais de ensino, pesquisa e extensão, políticas institucionais e a participação, gestão e ordenamento ambiental. A pesquisa de opinião foi diligenciada por 60 IES públicas e privadas, localizadas em diferentes regiões do país. A natureza da pesquisa é qualitativa, exploratória, com suporte na análise de estatística descritiva e elaborada com base em uma escala estabelecida para cada âmbito de percentagens que definem os níveis de compromisso ambiental de cada uma das IES. O âmbito de desempenho mais alto foi o governo e a participação, o que mostra o interesse das IES para fortalecer as políticas ambientais. O mais baixo foi o de gestão e ordenamento do campus. Estes resultados estabelecem a necessidade de gerar estratégias de auto regulação e melhoria institucional e para promover processo de continuidade desta pesquisa.
