Summary
Rethinking Education for Sustainable Development: Research, Policy and Practice explores how education systems worldwide can be reshaped to support a more sustainable and equitable future. Edited by Radhika Iyengar and Özge Karadağ Caman, this volume brings together scholars, policymakers, and practitioners who examine innovative approaches to Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).
The book highlights key themes such as ecological literacy, social justice, climate education, community-driven learning, and policy transformation. Through global case studies and theoretical analyses, it emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary approaches, culturally relevant teaching, and collaborative frameworks involving governments, schools, and civil society.
Ultimately, the work argues that education must not only impart knowledge but also empower learners to take informed, responsible action toward sustainable social and environmental change. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and policymakers committed to re-imagining education as a driver of sustainability and global citizenship.
