Informed by theory and full of practical advice, this key title offers a clear route to education for sustainable development (ESD) whilst questioning how we reconcile participatory, inclusive processes and the urgency of global crises.

This handbook provides guidance for those with an interest in the purpose and direction of learning and the principles and practices of sustainability in universities in the UK and beyond. With critical analysis and useful case studies and recommendations, the book covers key topics such as:

The need for sustainable development and the role that universities can play in this
Showing how ESD should be part of a whole institution approach
Development of relevant curricula with innovative and inspiring pedagogies to support sustainability competencies
Transdisciplinary learning and pioneering forms of knowledge production
Graduate futures and emerging priorities in the field of ESD

Through detailed case studies from experts in the field, this book demonstrates how ESD enables a critical interrogation of our world and strengthens the capacities of our universities to nurture future thinking leaders.

This is essential reading for all those interested in beginning or widening ESD in programmes, universities and the wider sector, including academic staff, university senior managers and support staff, students, policy makers, employers, and community leaders.
