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."
