Abstract

Education is a crucial instrument that young people and future generations can utilise to address the socialissues that the current generation has caused. Through problem-solving, education alters people's behaviourand consciousness, enabling them to pursue their own well-being as well as the sustainable well-being of theEarth and communities. Both Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Education for SustainableDevelopment Goals (ESDG) were formed, building on the Millennium Development Goals and SDGs. Amore effective alternative to the ESDGs currently in vogue for universal education is one that emphasisesnon-anthropocentric ethics and, more practically, regrowth as two major measures for tacklingunsustainability. One of the most important guiding concepts in education is sustainable development, whichis a duty and a problem for higher education in particular. Higher Education for Sustainable Development(HESD) seeks to impart knowledge and foster competencies, values, and attitudes that enable and inspirestudents to actively contribute to sustainable development. Education must be linked to larger structuraltransformation processes taking place in each of these three areas of the economy, culture, and polity if it isto have a really transformative impact
