ICSE Journey

Since its inception in 2019, the International Conference on Sustainability Education (ICSE) has been dedicated to unravelling the nuances and potential of sustainability education as a driving force for global transformation. Amidst the pressing challenges of increasing greenhouse gas emissions, growing energy crises, erratic weather patterns, and alarming biodiversity loss, the need for sustainability education has only intensified. The conference aligns with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, advocating for a comprehensive educational approach that tackles the economic, social, and environmental aspects outlined in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). ICSE integrates Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) as its key component and places significant emphasis on the target 4.7 of SDG 4 (quality education), which pertains to ‘sustainability education.’

The 2nd and 3rd versions of the conference, held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasized on the contemporary issues in sustainability education, spanning from policy frameworks to ecosystem restoration and climate literacy. In 2022, the 4th iteration of ICSE shifted its focus towards ‘Building Connection and Partnerships for a Sustainable Future’, acknowledging the imperative to bridge the gaps and rebuild relationships post-pandemic, aiming for a collective effort towards sustainability. Following that, the 5th ICSE 2023 with the theme ‘Educating for Climate Action and Sustainability’ reflected on the growing urgency to address climate change.

The upcoming 6th ICSE 2024 is scheduled to take place on 19th -20th September 2024 at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. The theme 'Greening Education for a Sustainable Future' signifies a shift towards embedding sustainability principles within the very fabric of educational systems. This edition will further explore how education can be reimagined and redesigned to cultivate a generation of global citizens equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to navigate the complex sustainability challenges of the 21st century.
