Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Disaster Risk
Reduction Education (DRRE) have overlapping areas of concern
focusing on strengthening the link to local communities. In
reality, there is significant synergy in ESD and disaster risk
reduction (DRR). Both concepts urge looking at the communities,
both focus on behavior changes and both call for linking knowledge
to action. The Decade of Education for Sustainable Development
(DESD) ends in 2014 and the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) ends
in 2015. Therefore, at this junction, it is important to review the
progress made over the past 10 years and to suggest future synergy
options. This book is the first attempt to review these two
emerging fields and to provide input to the future direction of
education.
The book has 11 chapters, drawing lessons mainly from Japan and
discussing their implications for the world. The first four
chapters provide an overview of the ESD DRR linkage, ESD and its
evolution, DRRE and Climate Change Education. These are followed by
case studies from ESD practices in Japan, in schools, universities
and communities.
The primary target groups for this book are students and
researchers in the fields of environment, disaster risk reduction
and climate change studies. The book provides them with a good idea
of the current research trends in the field and furnishes basic
knowledge about these vital topics. Another target group comprises
practitioners and policy makers, who will be able to apply the
knowledge collected here to establishing policy and making
decisions."
