| dc.description.abstract | Integration of environmental education within geographic education stands at a crossroads. The emergence of sustainability, integrating the “three E’s” of ecology, economics, and social equity, presents both important opportunities and challenges for environmental and geographic education. A way forward will require holistic integration of the three E’s to embrace education for sustainability (EFS). This paper is not a research article but presents a conceptual framework that is useful for encouraging geographic and environmental education and research, and it includes a background of the sustainability movement. Projects implementing sustainability education at institutions of higher education are presented, with a case study focusing on an integrated approach at one institution. | |
