Sustainability education is an untapped resource in addressing challenges related to the environment, climate change and sustainable development. Although there have been various efforts globally in this direction, still educators, as well as policy and decision-makers, have not yet fully utilized the potential of education to address these challenges. Environment education over the years has come up as a distinct discipline and various approaches and methodologies of teaching and learning have evolved at various levels. However, there is a need to bring out specifics and intricacies of environmental education as an agent of change and transformation in true sense. It is also interesting to note the transition from environment education (EE) to education for sustainable development (ESD) and moving towards more focused climate change education (CCE) which reflects the need for reorienting educational priorities to the newer global challenges of today.

The conference will bring together around 500 participants (Internationally and nationally) representing a multi-disciplinary and diverse group of stakeholders including policymakers, teachers and educators, curriculum development experts, representatives of school and education networks, youth, scientists and climate change experts, as well as individuals from the private sector and civil society.

Students will be an integral part of the program and will be engaged through various events led by our partners like Climate Reality Project, Centre for Environment Education (CEE) and Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE).

The team is working towards making ICSE 2019 as one of the most exciting and stimulating experience for the participants by including plenaries, technical sessions, keynote speeches, case studies presentations, experience-sharing sessions, thematic side events, posters and exhibitions covering diverse elements of sustainability education including environment education (EE), Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), climate change education (CCE) etc. The conference will provide the participants amply opportunities for interactions, discussion and networking with leaders in the field.
