Public Policies on Education for Sustainable Development

Abstract

Public Policies on Education for Sustainable Development focuses on policy options to improve the integration of environmental considerations into the working of the economic system and to address some of the social and educational consequences of better integration. High priority needs to be put on building stronger support within governments and society for comprehensive implementation of sustainable development policies. Sustainability depends on maintaining basic ecosystem services, a healthy environment and cohesive societies and balancing these elements will require stronger public policies on education.
