Higher Education Institutions have played a distinct role in society: they are predisposed to be at the forefront of social change and to deal with problems. The objective of this work was to identify how sustainability has been developed in HEIs around the world, examining the evolution of management in environmental issues and the promotion of social change. The results presented three periods of the global context of sustainability in the HEIs. The first encompassed the discovery phase, the second comprised the adaptation phase and, finally, the third epoch encompassed the implementation of sustainability. Understanding the development of sustainability in HEIs during these years was essential to identify the current state of the art and to map future paths in the area.
