Förlagets beskrivning
Sustainable development gives us a sharper time perspective, telling us that the choices we make today are inseparable from responsibility for future generations. Sustainable development to us also involves our relation to nature. The environmental problems and conflicts at stake are both global and touch upon all aspects of society. The World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in 2002 stressed the three dimensions – ecological, economic and social – of sustainable development. Its plan of action provided for the integration of the three components of sustainable development as interdependent and mutually reinforcing pillars. Also, the Johannesburg Summit underscored the need to integrate sustainable development perspectives into educational systems at all levels, in order to promote education as a decisive factor for change. The UN Decade 2005–2015 on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) was decided upon by the General Assembly in December 2002 and is already gearing up to start.
In this anthology, 27 researchers from 13 different Swedish universities from all over the country are gathered for a common cause in the vast and vital area of education & sustainable development. All the authors are members of the national research network entitled “Education & Sustainable Development”. In that respect, we all want “to join hands and learn from each other in this process,” as Bert Bolin, professor emeritus and the chairman of the International Panel on Climate Change 1988–97, writes in his foreword to this anthology.
