Transformative Education as a Catalyst for Socio-Ecological Sustainable Change

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In the 21st century, socio-ecological injustices continue to persist. Worst yet: they are exacerbated by the maintenance of unsustainable industrial practices, political inertia and economic structures that prioritize short-term capital gains over the long-term survival of our planet. As a result, we are currently living through an era marked by unprecedented environmental crises: climate change, loss of biodiversity, air pollution, deforestation, sea level rises, etc., which only work towards furthering social-economic inequities. In this context, there has been an increasing call by certain sectors of society – like scholars, activists, community organizations, Indigenous peoples, and concerned citizens – to urgently reevaluate the ways in which we strive for sustainability.
