This book bridges the gap between Education for Sustainable Development and community development and examines the contributions of critical environmental education as a theoretical framework to the policy, research, and practice of Education for Sustainable Development. The book investigates what Education for Sustainable Development really means when it happens from the perspectives of a marginalized individual at the very bottom of society in a local community, where there is no such ‘educational’ institution, no policy or no curriculum to support the effort, but there is the necessity of learning and empowerment for changing the situation. In particular, drawing on the experience of the indigenous Ainu fisherman, it critically examines the theoretical foundation of Education for Sustainable Development, critical environmental education, investigating methodologically and epistemologically the relevance and efficacy of critical environmental education to socially critical approaches to Education for Sustainable Development in a community development context. And this investigation leads to develop a praxis framework for socially critical Education for Sustainable Development in a community development context so that both fields would be mutually supportive to strengthen the practices.

This book explores how education can be used as a tool to promote sustainability practices as the world faces huge challenges related to climate change and public health. The chapters consider all types of literacy approaches that fall under the umbrella of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). These approaches include scientific literacy, ecological literacy, health literacy, education on climate change and climate resilience, environmental education and others linking education, global health, and the environment more broadly. “Education” is used in the widest sense to incorporate non-formal, informal and formal/school settings. This volume will help to bring these interconnected areas together and interrogate their research methods, assumptions, field-based application and their policy potential. Taking a critical approach to ESD, the book suggests new pedagogies, tools, and technologies to strengthen the way we educate about sustainability issues and go beyond the current thinking about ESD. The book includes a foreword by Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, USA.

This is the first book to articulate how to address interlinkages among sustainable development goals (SDGs), which are keys to implementing those goals by 2030. At the heart of the book is a resilience approach to the enabling relevant systems, practices, and education and research. While SDGs are well known at different levels from local to global spheres, a major gap can be seen between goals and approaches, as approaches are lacking for addressing interlinkages among SDGs. The United Nations General Assembly in 2015 acknowledged interlinkages as being of crucial importance in ensuring the purpose of the goals. However, few actual approaches have been specified to address the interlinkages or interconnections at both the policy and practical levels. Thus, it is urgent to face the question of how to address the interlinkages by stakeholders—not only policy communities and researchers but also practitioners and students, especially innovators who can go beyond existing boundaries. By highlighting that challenge, this book lays out a path for addressing interlinkages among SDGs by applying a resilience approach to the issues of a sustainable society. The resilience approach has been developed from combinations of different modes of thinking and practices, including the systems approach, systems and design thinking, and resilience thinking and practices. Based on this overarching approach, innovators seek out the relevance of that approach to their SDGs-related practices at the system, local, and educational levels. The book therefore serves as a guide to how the resilience approach can contribute to accelerating implementation of SDGs by 2030.

As we confront the daunting challenges of the 21st century—climate change, social inequality, resource depletion, and the loss of biodiversity—the role of education has emerged as a pivotal force in driving transformative change. "Education for Sustainable Development: The Contribution of Universities" is a response to this urgent call for a reimagined educational landscape, one that empowers current and future generations to navigate and address the complexities of sustainability. This book seeks to outline universities' critical role as catalysts for sustainable development. As centres of knowledge creation, innovation, and community engagement, universities possess the unique ability to influence not only individual lives but also societal norms and practices. They are uniquely positioned to integrate sustainability into their curricula, research agendas, and outreach efforts, thus fostering a culture of sustainability that permeates all aspects of academic life. The need for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has never been clearer. By emphasising sustainability in higher education, we can raise awareness among students and faculty, inspiring them to become informed and engaged global citizens. This book serves as a comprehensive resource, offering insights, best practices, and real-world examples of how universities around the globe are advancing the principles of ESD. Within this book, the readers will find a rich tapestry of ideas and strategies designed to encourage institutions to embrace sustainability in a holistic manner. From innovative teaching methods to collaborative community partnerships, this collection reflects the diversity of approaches being implemented in universities today. It is our hope that the experiences shared will serve as a source of inspiration for educators, administrators, and policymakers. Ultimately, this book stands as a testament to the belief that education is a powerful tool for creating a more sustainable and equitable world. By fostering a deep understanding of sustainability and its interconnected dimensions, we can equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to tackle the pressing issues we face. Together, through a collective commitment to Education for Sustainable Development, we can cultivate a better future for generations to come.

Educating for Sustainable Development (ESD) approaches are holistic and interdisciplinary, values-driven, participatory, multi-method, locally relevant and emphasize critical thinking and problem-solving. This book explains how ESD approaches work in the Japanese context; their effects on different stakeholders; and their ultimate potential contribution to society in Japan. It considers ESD in both formal and informal education sectors, recognizing that even when classroom learning takes place it must be place-based and predicated on a specific community context. The book explores not only ‘Why ESD’, but why and how ESD in Japan has gained importance in the past decade and more recently in the wake of the triple disaster of March 2011. It considers how ESD can help Japan recover and adapt to disasters and take initiative in building more resilient and sustainable communities. This volume asks the questions: What are some examples of positive contributions by ESD to sustainability in Japan? What is the role of ESD in Japan in activating people to demand and work towards change? How can schools, universities and non-governmental organizations link with communities to strengthen civic awareness and community action? After an introduction that elucidates the roots and recent promotion of ESD in Japan, part one of this volume looks at the formal education sector in Japan, while part two examines community-based education and sustainability initiatives. The latter revisits the Tohoku region five years on from the events of March 2011, to explore recovery and revitalization efforts by schools, NGOs and residents. This is an invaluable book for postgraduate students, researchers, teachers and policy makers working on ESD.

As institutions strive to attract students from diverse backgrounds and compete on a global scale, quality assurance frameworks ensure educational programs meet established regulations.

It delves into the challenges and opportunities faced by academic institutions as they strive for excellence in an ever-evolving educational landscape. This book covers topics such as online learning, quality assurance, and student engagement, and is a useful resource for educators, administrators, policymakers, business owners, academicians, and researchers.
