Transdisciplinary Impulses towards Socio-Ecological Transformation (Schriftenreihe "Ökologie und Erziehungswissenschaft" der Kommission Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Erziehungs)

Education for sustainable development should enable people to think and act in a way that is fit for the future, in the face of challenges such as climate change, environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, poverty and inequality. How can different disciplines address this task? In this book, interdisciplinary contributions from philosophy, social sciences, and education are complemented by transdisciplinary contributions from practical fields such as museum education and journalism. These reflections help open up spaces for thinking in order to do justice to the complexity of the task of socioecological transformation. Helge Kminek, Anna Geyer and Markus B.
