This book offers a perspective on Education for Sustainable
Development in Early Childhood (ESDEC) that is far removed from the
'business as usual' notion of an extended, predominantly
environmental, educational curriculum for preschools. It presents a
vision of sustainable development that has relevance to Early
Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) from birth to school; it is
relevant as much to homes, family support and health settings as it
is to educational settings, and is as much concerned with health
and wellbeing as with education. The book provides a perspective
that is fundamentally embedded in notions of interdependency. It
places an emphasis upon the importance of recognising the
interdependency of peoples within and between nation states; the
ecological interdependencies of the natural world; of humanity and
nature; and most significantly the interdependency of adults and
children. These emphases have their origins in the grassroots
studies included in the ten chapters representing countries from
around the world. The book reflects the idea that only global
solutions and initiatives are capable of addressing the global
challenges of climate change, environmental pollution, and global
threats to ecological systems and biodiversity.
