The Routledge International Handbook ofHigher Education for Sustainable Development gives a systematic and comprehensive overview of existing and upcoming research approaches for higher education for sustainable development. It provides a unique resource for researchers engaged in the field of higher education for sustainable development by connecting theoretical aspects of the range of relevant methodologies, showing the interdisciplinary aspects of the research field and illustrating the breadth of research directions. With a team of international authors from leading universities in research and teaching in higher education for sustainable development this Handbook brings together a broad range of research approaches and shows how these approaches are reflected in the research practice in higher education for sustainable development. Key topics include: Research Paradigms and Methodologies Ongoing and Future Directions of Research Meta-Analysis and Reviews Policy and Politics Challenges for Implementation Action Research and Transdisciplinary Perspective Gender, Diversity and Post-Colonial Perspectives Operationalising Competencies Outcome-Oriented Research Curriculum Change Organisational Change and Organisational Learning Community and Partnerships University Appraisal Systems and Indicators Evaluation Approaches Engaging Academic Teachers Good Practice Learning and Teaching Transformative Leadership and Change Strategies This Handbook is an invaluable research and teaching tool for all those working in higher education for sustainable development.
Modern and professional communication is required to realise the goal of sustainability in society. This book develops a theoretical and empirical framework, integrating interdisciplinary perspectives from communications theory, psychology, sociology, educational sciences, systems theory and constructivism. Its aim is to inform the establishment of sustainability communication. Complementing this theoretical framework, the book provides methods and concepts in a range of fields such as corporate practice, education and media. The book addresses the scientific community and students as well as communicators in all categories of sustainability communication.

How is it possible to sustainably implement the ideas of the Right Livelihood Award - also known as the "Alternative Nobel Prize" - in educational and teaching methods of learning as part of future-oriented teacher training? This book addresses this issue in the form of a combination of articles from both an academic and school-related point of view. Education researchers, subject educationalists, expert scientists and teacher trainers present exemplary formats with which prospective teachers can be qualified for the wide-ranging requirements imposed on them as part of globalization and internationalization: teachers need to perform their educational mandate in a globally networked and mobile society which is also characterized by linguistic, ethnic, religious and cultural heterogeneity. They have to illustrate the complexity of the globalization processes to their pupils and provide suitable opportunities for learning in order to deal productively with the changed future requirements. In the formats, the contents of Right Livelihood - especially questions concerning ecology, social justice and peace - are addressed in a manner that is age-appropriate and related to experience. Moreover they are dealt with in an interdisciplinary context. The objective is to jointly incorporate the subject of Global Learning as Part of Education for Sustainable Development in the teacher education course and to realize it directly at the chalk face.
To address the grand challenges of the 21st century, societies must undergo substantial transformations. Whether the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), set in place by the United Nations as targets to be reached by 2030, can be reached will depend in part on how successfully education strategies empower learners of all ages with the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes to transform themselves, their communities, and their societies. Educational institutions have critical roles to play in facilitating and supporting these transitions. To fulfill this vision and be transformational, however, education and educational institutions themselves will have to be transformed. Digitalization, New Media, and Education for Sustainable Development explores how digitalization and new media are already shaping and will shape the transformation of international educational systems. It examines all aspects related to and interconnections between digitalization, new media, and education for sustainable development. Covering topics such as biased design, energy smart schools, and project-based learning, this premier reference source is an indispensable resource for educators and administrators of both K-12 and higher education, preservice teachers, teacher educators, government officials, policymakers, community leaders, researchers, and academicians.
Trotz vielfaltiger Initiativen und Aktivitaten in Politik, Wirtschaft, Zivilgesellschaft und Wissenschaft bleibt der Ubergang in eine nachhaltige Gesellschaft eine der zentralen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit. Eine wichtige Voraussetzung fur die weitere Etablierung von Nachhaltigkeit in unterschiedlichen Gesellschaftsbereichen liegt in der Professionalisierung der Entscheidungstrager von morgen. Dazu ist eine angemessene nachhaltigkeitswissenschaftliche (Aus-)Bildung erforderlich. Das Lehrbuch Nachhaltigkeitswissenschaft von Lehrenden der Fakultat Nachhaltigkeit der Leuphana Universitat Luneburg mochte dazu einen Beitrag leisten. Nach einer Einfuhrung in die Entstehungsgeschichte von nachhaltiger Entwicklung und Nachhaltigkeitswissenschaft werden zunachst naturwissenschaftlich-technische und humanwissenschaftliche Grundlagen aufbereitet. Anschliessend werden nachhaltigkeitswissenschaftliche Methoden sowie integrierende und reflektierende Ansatze zu Transdisziplinaritat und Ethik dargestellt. Schliesslich werden beispielhaft Problem- und Handlungsfelder der Nachhaltigkeitswissenschaften (z.B. Wasser, Energie oder nachhaltige Gemeindeentwicklung) vorgestellt"

Nachhaltige Entwicklung ist seit der Rio-Konferenz 1992 das Leitbild fur alle umweltpadagogischen Initiativen. Es gibt zahlreiche programmatische Konzepte und Umsetzungsversuche, jedoch sind Defizite festzustellen im Hinblick auf die empirische Erforschung von Implementationsstrategien. An diesem Punkt setzten die Beitrage des vorliegenden Sammelbandes an: Welche Voraussetzungen, Dispositionen, Vorerfahrungen, kurz: Welches Bewusstsein bei Lernenden ist der Populariseriung des Leitbildes Nachhaltigkeit foerderlich? Die vorgestellten empirischen arbeiten sind Resultat eines von der Deutschen Bundesstiftung Umwelt gefoerderten Projektes , das in Kooperation zwischen den Universitaten Hannover und Luneburg unter Leitung der Herausgeber durchgefuhrt wurde.
Die Beitrage befassen sich mit unterschiedlichen Forschungsansatzen in der Umweltbildung. Verschiedene Methoden der Umweltbildungsforschung werden erstmals in dieser Breite diskutiert.
Trotz aller Anstrengungen ist der bisherige Stand der Umweltbildung unbefriedigend. Internationale (z. B. UNCED 1992) und nationale AnstAAe (z.B. Umweltgutachten 1994 des SachverstAndigenrats fA1/4r Umweltfragen) gebieten, Grundlagen und Ergebnisse bisheriger MaAnahmen zu A1/4berprA1/4fen. Gegenstand dieser Evaluationsstudie sind A1/4ber einhundert Forschungsvorhaben und Modellversuche aus den Jahren 1987 bis 1995. Kriterien der Auswertung sind Konzeptionen, Inhalte, Lernprozesse, Kooperation, Medien und Materialien, A-kologisierung, Fortbildung, Verbreitung und Anwendung sowie Innovationseffekte. Aus alledem werden konkrete Empfehlungen fA1/4r eine "kulturelle Wende" der Umweltbildung abgeleitet.
