This work contributes to education for sustainability with innovative
pedagogy and a new conceptual approach. It is based on a realistic
assessment of our future in the Anthropocene, based on principles of
human security and scientific models of remaining safe operating space.
It critiques current approaches to education for sustainability and
highlights solutions. A chapter on the ethics of sustainability
education provides the conceptual basis for a taxonomy of learning
outcomes and a section on how culturally diverse communities of learners
can transform their guiding values in today's classrooms. Special
attention is given to cultural learning, developing shared visions and
diverse approaches, collective learning from transition events such as
the 2020 pandemic, cultures learning from each other, and teacher
education. The book integrates environmental ethics, zero growth and
climate mitigation into a blueprint to educate successfully for a Great
Transition to a truly sustainable future for a smaller, wiser humanity.
