Challenges and Future Trends of Sustainable Environmental Education

Dear Colleagues,

Education is among the key elements of sustainable development and climate mitigation, providing benefits in terms of scientific literacy, information, formation, involvement, and behavioral activation, areas which constitute the basis of global citizenship. Transdisciplinary education on sustainability includes developing a scientific understanding of today’s ecological crises and the mitigation solutions available, the psychological aspects involved in eco-anxiety and pro-environmental behavior, the economic and social factors involved, as well as the institutional actors at local and global levels.

This Special Issue aims to publish contributions on the role of education in reaching the sustainable development goals set by the UN in the 2030 Agenda. Reaching such goals may require a rethinking of education at all levels by all the educational institutions contributing to citizens’ development. We welcome submissions that present innovative teaching experiences and proposals for specialized and interdisciplinary educational programs. The educational contents proposed must be aimed at one or more of the following: strengthening scientific knowledge, investigating and addressing the psychological aspects of pro-environmental behaviors, raising awareness on the economic and social factors involved in today’s ecological crises, and highlighting the institutional actors involved at the local and the global levels.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Sustainability.
