This chapter examines the complex relationship between education and sustainable development, emphasising the transforming role that education plays in developing social justice, fostering environmental stewardship, and fostering individual empowerment. This chapter presents various educational approaches, initiatives, and policies that support sustainable development, drawing on the most recent research and references. It emphasises the need for comprehensive and inclusive education systems that foster critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and a thorough understanding of the interconnectedness of ecological, social, and economic systems.
