Sustainability in Biology, Geography and Interdisciplinary Studies and Sustainable Pedagogies

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality research papers on Biology, Geography, Health Education, and interdisciplinary studies in the field of sustainability education.

One of the goals for the future is to achieve a sustainable society through the process of sustainable development. The concept of sustainable development is based on the concept of socioeconomic development in line with ecological constraints. The concept of needs requires a redistribution of resources to ensure the quality of life and basic needs for present and future generations.

Sustainability education provides teaching, learning, and practical experience in both formal and nonformal settings that foster personal development, community involvement, and action for change in our human and natural worlds. Education for sustainable development and sustainability are ways to get people to understand the complexity of the environment and to adapt their activities and pursue their development in ways which are harmonious with the environment. Education at all levels (e.g., schools, universities) plays a crucial role in constructing sustainable societies and wellbeing.

The research to be presented in this Special Issue will focus on student teachers’, on students’ and pupils´ or educators´ competence and awareness in addition to conceptions and concepts and other relevant issues of human environmental relationships in the domains of environmental or ecological, social, cultural, and economic sustainability.
