This new book, Sustainability and Environmental Education: Integrating the Role of Technology and the AI Era, covers a wide range of topics relevant to sustainable education and its trends, challenges, and opportunities. It considers environmental education, the social and cultural implications of climate science, education and sustainable development, sustainable education and COVID-19 pandemics, and many other pertinent issues relating to environmental protection. This book offers an authoritative source of information on sustainable education ecosystems and their challenges and opportunities, with the potential to address issues related to the global and changing market-driven factors. The goal of the book is to considerably increase our understanding of the most recent environmental education research for sustainable development.

The volume reflects the priorities of the UNESCO Global Action Programme on Education for Sustainable Development, which reaffirms the importance of education in society. The idea of sustainability necessitates that we take into account long-term horizons, environmental stability, the needs of humans in various locations, as well as those of non-human residents of the earth. The editors posit that artificial intelligence (AI) and education may complement one another, and that technology with AI capabilities can help to close the gaps in the current educational system.

The goal of this book is to provide some remedies that are motivated by AI advancements or digitization and include sustainability as a prominent component. It does this by examining the major problems with the current global education system. This book aims to offer an authoritative source of information on sustainable education ecosystems, their challenges and opportunities, with the potential to address issues related to the global and changing market-driven factors.
