The world faces complex environmental, social, and economic challenges, including climate change, biodiversity loss, poverty, social inequality and resource depletion, issues that require a paradigm shift in education. Higher education institutions that adopt an interdisciplinary approach can empower students to think critically.
Education for Sustainable Development is a holistic and transformational approach that addresses learning content, outcomes, pedagogy, and the learning environment. Its goal is to empower learners to make informed decisions and take responsible actions for environmental integrity, economic viability and a just society for present and future generations (UNESCO).
