| Description | The roots of education for sustainability development (ESD), a driving approach applied in this handbook, lie in environmental education (EE). While EE and ESD differ in some of their aspects, they both share a focus on shaping a human’s ability to deal with various issues endangering a sustainable future. In this chapter, we briefly describe how environmental issues are reflected in EE theory and practice, and how some of the EE approaches formed the basis for ESD. Then, we focus on the basic principles of ESD and the way it is implemented in higher educational institutions. |
