Now with new Introduction and additional new chapter. At a time
when polls suggest that a majority of young British people believe
that the future will offer a worse quality of life than the
present, it is becoming imperative that children are introduced to
principles of sustainability through the educational system from an
early age, and that these principles are regularly reinforced and
built upon. The government's own Panel on Sustainable Development
has called for a 'comprehensive strategy for environmental and
training', and NGOs frequently point to education as a key policy
instrument in the transition to sustainable development. This is
the first book published in Britain to provide an overview of the
theory and practice of these issues. It brings together
contributions from environmental educators working in the formal
and informal sectors and in continuing education, and provides
perspectives on the philosophy, politics and pedagogy of education
for sustainability, as well as case studies and pointers towards
good practice. Part I establishes some initial perspectives on
sustainability, education and the role of NGOs; the potential for
education for sustainability in the formal and informal sectors is
assessed in Parts II and III; Part IV discusses its development as
part of the greening of business and local government; and Part V
looks at the way forward.
