This paper highlights the contribution of the Sulitest to analyse the determinants of sustainability literacy in higher education. Sulitest is an open online training and assessment tool designed to assess and improve sustainability literacy. It is a multi-stakeholder initiative supported by several UN agencies and academic networks. Based on collaboration through the volunteer contribution of an international community, this tool aims to be internationally recognized and locally relevant by addressing global as well as local issues. With a growing community of more than 500 higher education institutions and other organizations from more than 50 countries, Sulitest begins to be recognized as a standard to assess and improve sustainability literacy. As the use of the tool is expanding, the data collected provides tangible indicators to map the current level of sustainability literacy and to monitor progress over time.
