Material Detail

Sustainable development is a complex topic, and it is a topic that people discuss often and with passion. Conflicting worldviews are central to sustainability discourse. Amidst this persisting controversy, education for sustainable development has emerged as a global movement and UNESCO-led program with the ambitious aim to "reorient education and learning so that everyone has the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that empower them to contribute to sustainable development"^[1]. Furthermore, ESD programming asserts that “Sustainable development requires changes in the way we think and act” and that “Education plays a crucial role in bringing about this change” ^[1].
