Handbook on Teaching and Learning for Sustainable Development

Edited by Walter Leal Filho, Professor and Head of the Research and Transfer Centre “Sustainable Development and Climate Change Management”, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Germany and Professor of Environment and Technology, Department of Natural Sciences, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, Amanda Lange Salvia, Research Associate, Graduate Program in Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Passo Fundo, Brazil and Fernanda Frankenberger, Professor of the Business School, Pontifical Catholic University PUCPR and Universidade Positivo – UP, Brazil

Exploring the important role of education in both pursuing and implementing sustainable development, this timely Handbook highlights how teaching methods at schools and universities can impact the future. It looks at ways not only to inform students about matters related to sustainable development, but also to empower them to adopt behaviours and actions that lead to more sustainable lifestyles.

‘This is a Handbook that focuses on two key aspects of our daily lives: sustainability and education. They are presented in a way which develops a sense of internalisation and ownership as the ever-increasing links between the two aspects are fleshed out. The Handbook is well organised and utilises a diverse array of case studies from different regions and continents and a tapestry of different methodologies. This adds to the richness of the work, as it manages to engage the reader with a pragmatic approach to re-orient existing educational practices towards sustainability. The Handbook is a welcome addition to the growing literature on sustainability and education, and offers more than just a glimmer of hope that sustainability can be achieved through education – it offers an actual path.’
