| Abstract: | Understanding and exploring the two-way relationship between education and international sustainable development can help education institutions truly become vehicles of transformational change in the wider community and inform policy decisions aimed at achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Examining the relationship between education and international sustainable development, this book explores how education can adapt, respond, and contribute to positive change in the face of crises, which is an important consideration for policymakers, educators, and researchers. Country specific case studies are presented, including military conflicts and regime change in Iraq, military conflict and natural disasters and their repercussions in Somalia, as well as population decline and unequal resource distribution in South Korea. Chapter authors debate potential solutions to these crises, appealing to education as a key tool and aligning their discussion with the SDGs. This understanding is crucial for those researching and teaching education and sustainability issues in higher education to inspire solutions and contribute to positive change in the face of crises. |
