Integrating Education for Sustainable Development in the Higher Education Curriculum

This study is an attempt to highlight the urgent need of integrating Education for Sustainable development into the Curriculum of Higher Education Institutions. The paper begins with listing the principles of sustainable development as recommended by the Earth Summit –The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro in the year 1992 in order to understand the concept and the responsibilities of all the stakeholders towards achieving the goal of Sustainable Development. The core areas which are the focus of Education for Sustainable Development are then identified before discussing their integration into the curriculum. It then provides detailed illustrations of the ways and means to integrate the different themes of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) through examples, in the Higher Education Curriculum in universities and Colleges of India to build a case for ESD.
