Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Environmental Sciences - Sustainability, grade: 1.3, University of Applied Sciences Eberswalde (Faculty of Forest and Environment), course: Master of Science Global Change Management, language: English, abstract: This paper deals with the integration of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) into educational systems to address global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and inequality. The focus is on the ESD for 2030 framework developed by UNESCO, which aims to embed ESD in policies, systems, and practices across all education levels by 2030. This framework emphasizes transformative actions, social transformation, and critical thinking to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The paper also discusses the Germanwatch Handprint approach, which complements ESD by promoting structural changes and political commitment for sustainable actions. Methodologically, the paper examines the effectiveness of these frameworks through the lens of current educational practices, highlighting the gap between theoretical frameworks and practical implementation, particularly in the German educational context. The study underscores the necessity of transforming education systems to create enabling environments for learners to become change agents for social and ecological transformation.
