Environmental education (EE) and education for sustainable
development (ESD) are asserting their growing role in curricula
around the world, yet how deeply embedded are they in the learning
systems of the Pacific nations? Building on an earlier analysis in
China and Taiwan, this volume expands its purview to examine the
quality and extent of environmental and sustainable development
education in a number of countries in the Asia-Pacific region,
including China itself, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and
Indonesia. As well as offering detailed national analyses
provided by Asian-Pacific academics and professionals, this work
includes examples in the US and Canada and an introduction that
assesses the contrasting challenges and positive commonalities
among diverse education systems. The chapters reflect leading-edge
practice, innovation, and depth of experience and at the same time
as detailing locally relevant and culturally appropriate strategies
they also provide clear models and strategies for expanding the
application and influence of education for sustainable development
elsewhere. In doing so, they mirror the global nature of
environmental issues as well as the local nature of the solutions.
