Abstract

Education is a crucial instrument that young people and future generations can utilise to address the social issues that the current generation has caused. Through problem-solving, education alters people's behaviour and consciousness, enabling them to pursue their own well-being as well as the sustainable well-being of the Earth and communities. Both Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Education for Sustainable Development Goals (ESDG) were formed, building on the Millennium Development Goals and SDGs. A more effective alternative to the ESDGs currently in vogue for universal education is one that emphasises non-anthropocentric ethics and, more practically, regrowth as two major measures for tackling unsustainability. One of the most important guiding concepts in education is sustainable development, which is 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 inspire students to actively contribute to sustainable development. Education must be linked to larger structural transformation processes taking place in each of these three areas of the economy, culture, and polity if it is to have a really transformative impact
