Education for sustainable development (ESD) is nowadays internationally considered an important aspect of the overall education of children and young people in the world. It is included among the goals of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Besides its content – sustainable development – ESD is also characterized by its emphasis on a democratic and participatory educational procedure. In this paper, we show how both these aspects of ESD – its content and procedure – reveal the importance of bringing ethical considerations into ESD, as well as provide challenges for ethics teaching in ESD.

This book looks to cover the issues related to advances in higher education for sustainable development goals. Nowadays, sustainable development is an important concept in higher education. One of the most widely recognized definition is based in Brundtland report as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". The three core pillars of sustainable development are environment, society and economy. Currently, higher education in the context of sustainable development goals (SDGs) is a great challenge. The information about higher education for sustainable development presents great interest to improve communication between, professors, researches and students in universities, institutes, colleges, etc. This research book covers all aspects of higher education for sustainable development goals, namely, no poverty, zero hunger, good health and wellbeing, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, industry, innovation, and infrastructure, reduced inequalities, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consummation and production, climate action, life bellow water, life on land, peace, justice and strong institutions, partnerships

This article examines the intersections among peace education and environmental education to understand how these commonalities frame education for sustainable development. The authors trace the intersection of the two disciplines and explore the role of the United Nations in promoting and empowering individuals with the values to advance the twin goals of peace and ecological sustainability. The paper profiles the United Nation's Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, particularly as formal education, nonformal learning channels, and popular culture have embraced the holistic notion of ecological responsibility, peace, and social justice.

World Bank declared that the quality of education in Indonesia currently is relatively minimum, although the expansion of educational access for community has significantly increased. One of the reasons is the uneven access to education or, in other words, there are still inequalities. The Johannesburg World Summit's role in 2002 on sustainability development in promoting Education and Sustainable Development (ESD) was very important to develop as a key concept in its implementation plan. This study was carried out through literature review and interviews with related parties. The study concludes that education is often explained as a big expectation to create a more sustainable future, and institutions of teacher training are considered as main agents of change in transforming education as well as its society. It is necessary to note that the content of sustainable development is not the focus here, but how sustainable development is supported and promoted in culture and society through education supported by government and related parties. Quality education for sustainable development contains key issues about sustainability development into teaching and learning which include knowledge, systems of thought, emotions, ethics and values and actions. From these five domains, we can develop how quality education for sustainable development is applied in Indonesia.

This book discusses essential approaches and methods in connection with engineering education for sustainable development. Prepared as a follow-up to the 2015 Engineering Education in Sustainable Development (EESD) Conference held in British Columbia, Canada, it offers the engineering community key information on the latest trends and developments in this important field. Reflecting the need to address the links between formal and informal education, the scholars and professionals who contribute to this book show by means of case studies and projects how the goal of fostering sustainable development in the context of engineering education can be achieved. In particular, they discuss the need for restructuring teaching at engineering-focused institutions of higher education and provide practical examples of how to do so. The book places special emphasis on state-of-the art descriptions of approaches, methods, initiatives and projects from around the world, illustrating the contribution of engineering and affiliated sciences to sustainable development in various contexts, and at an international scale
