INTEGRATING STRATEGIC EDUCATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY FOR ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs): A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

Integrating strategic education and the environment can, therefore, lead to a more sustainable world by aiding people with the knowledge and skills to make conscious decisions and take action. Education: It can provide people with information about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and what can be done to counter climate change and global warming. It also helps in increasing leadership capabilities and in acquiring knowledge about sustainable practices at the community level. Universities: Universities have the fundamental potential to offer solutions by conducting education, research, and community engagement in global environmental problems. Universities should model best practices to their operations, research, and instruction. Academic programs: To embed sustainability into higher education, values and consciousness about sustainability must enter into the curricula. Active learning: An active- learning approach can enhance the nature of learning and increase its retention by placing students at the center of the learning process and engaging them in different experiential activities, including hands-on activities, real-world problem solving, and participatory learning experiences. Sustainability is a holistic approach that considers the social, environmental, and economic impacts of actions and decisions taken today.
