Role Of Education For Sustainable Development To Achieve Sustainable Future

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) empowers young people to be the agents of change for sustainable development by providing them with opportunities for learning and civic engagement, as well as the competencies and tools to participate in ESD as co-creators of individual and societal transformation. ESD aims to develop competencies that enable individuals to reflect on their actions, considering their current and future social, cultural, economic, and environmental consequences on a local and global scale. The ESD aimed to achieve the main goals of fostering environmental values, curriculum, textbooks, and pedagogical approaches in the school community, as well as raising awareness about the importance of environmental preservation and conservation. The objective of the study is to foster environmental awareness by Integrating Education for Sustainable Development in curriculum, Pedagogical approaches, teachers' perceptions, and teaching practices. The methodology for the study is descriptive documentary analysis with a qualitative approach. Through Education for Sustainable Development, there is a continued emphasis on learning about climate and other environmental issues, rather than developing the socio-emotional and action competencies essential to environmental and climate action. Transformative learning for people and the environment is critical to our survival and that of future generations. For a more sustainable future, governments, education policymakers, academics, and education and environmental stakeholders must increase their commitment to Education for Sustainable Development.
