Education is fundamental to societal change. Sustainability education provides a holistic vision to deal with societal challenges by equipping learners with skills needed to improve their life and the future of the planet. The UN Agenda 2030, with its associated Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4 on quality education, challenges the creativity and imagination of teachers, academics and other education sector professionals and practitioners. This volume offers valuable insights into, and suggestions for, delivering SDG 4 and learning from efforts to deliver other SDGs. The book will serve as a valuable resource for a variety of readers interested in the sustainability of the planet.
