Hardback
- Information
Description
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.
