Sustainable Development and Education: The International Initiatives

Rekha

Abstract :

It has been globally realized that the development paradigm that ignores the environment has proven to be a disaster. There is an international recognition of not only the fact that we need to change the paradigm of our development but also of the role that education is expected to play in that transformation. As human beings started to think that they will have to relearn to live in harmony with nature, the need for corresponding education was also felt. The paper seeks to understand major international initiatives related to sustainable development and their reflection in the domain of education.
