Full Description
The Earth Charter declaration is recognized by UNESCO as an instrument to enhance sustainable development, specifically the UNSDGs, as the current global action framework. Education for Sustainable Futures highlights the immense potential that the recognition and application of the Earth Charter could have for global education efforts. The chapters amplify voices often marginalised in educational discourse, contributing to a more equitable and values-based approach to education.
This book explores the role of education in shaping sustainable futures through the lens of the Earth Charter. This collection includes practical examples, research findings, and theoretical debates that illustrate how the Earth Charter informs educational practices and policy initiatives in several different global contexts including Latin America, East and South Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Engaging with the aims of the UNSDGs, Education for Sustainable Futures bridges the gap between policy and practice, offering a comprehensive exploration of the Charter's potential impact on education.
