| Title | Rethinking of Education for Sustainable Development and Climate Change Education: The Case Study of India |
| Summary | In the age of globalization, characterized by the emergence of alarming global issues, the role of education in promoting and fostering sustainable development (SD) is becoming increasingly pivotal. In 2015, global leaders came together to establish the 2030 agenda for SD with 17 goals to achieve a thriving and sustainable planet. Later on, Education for Sustainable Development(ESD) has been introduced as a means to effectively combat sustainability challenges and cultivate a sense of environmental responsibility among students. The research aims to investigate the depth and breadth of the impact of incorporating SDG principles and climate change on educational contexts. The study sheds light on the current state of ESD and climate change education implications and challenges faced throughout this process. Central to this inquiry is an investigation of the role of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UN SDSN)’s mission, particularly the organization’s one of the biggest initiatives-Global Schools Program (GSP) in implementing SDGs and the advocacy of integrated approaches to include SD principles via educational initiatives. The methodology involves case study and content analysis to address the research question and achieve the project objectives. The policy recommendations seek to inform educators, curriculum developers and policymakers on the strategies for strengthening the integration of SD principles and climate change within educational systems. Ultimately, the research contributes to the ongoing discourse on the significance of education in achieving SDGs and combating pressing climate change related challenges. |
