Abstract :
The concept of sustainable development appeared not long time ago and quickly became very relevant. Society started to think about its future. Unfortunately, in Russia this approach is missing in almost all business areas. However, it is time now to take these ideas into consideration. One of the most important areas to do this in is higher education as people form world outlook and become totally independent during this time. This means that there is a need for promoting and demonstrating sustainable development. However, how to do it if a lot of universities have more relevant problems? Analysis of European experience and its comparison with russian reality can help to understand how to start to act as environmentally efficient university.
