Abstract

Planetary-level anthropogenic pressure is attributable to both large-scale industry and modern lifestyle. However, the prevailing concept of sustainability education primarily focuses on people's responsibilities, neglecting to educate students about the roles and responsibilities of government and industry in effecting systemic changes for sustainability. This paper proposes a conceptual framework utilizing the Theory of Change as a foundational model for effective sustainability education. By integrating the Theory of Change, this framework aims to introduce citizenship to balanced responsibilities between education institution, governmental bodies, and industries within the context of sustainability education. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.
