Education for sustainable development : challenges, strategies, and practices in a globalizing world / edited by Anastasia Nikolopoulou, Taisha Abraham, Farid Mirbagheri.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Education for Sustainable Development is an emerging field that is being addressed from transdisciplinary and transinstitutional perspectives, forging links between academic and non-academic institutions. It explores sustainable development as a process that embraces environmental issues, poverty, health, security, democracy, gender and human rights. This collection provides multiple perspectives regarding the possibility of creating sustainable education practices that are integrated into and relevant to the needs and practices on a global scale. It also focuses on the failure of traditional education to address the problems of globalization." -- Publisher.
