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.
