Systems Change for Planetary Futures: Pathways for Collective Action

Catalog description

The urgency of the ecological crisis calls for individual and collective action. As the crisis escalates, this action cannot be limited to knowledge production solely focused on technical innovations and scientific solutions but requires a cultural shift toward more sustainable planetary futures. Introduces existing and emerging sustainability and climate action networks, which are mobilizing the power of education for transformative change across different contexts. Examines concrete strategies, tactics and approaches for activating shifts in the political, economic, and cultural foundations of education in ways that challenge the status quo and open opportunities for envisioning, articulating and enacting alternatives. Focuses on mobilizing collective action among people and organizations that may not normally collaborate, ranging from youth climate activists and interest groups, to local education authorities and transnational institutions.
