I think that education for sustainable development is valuable because the younger people learn things the more they are likely to carry it on into their adult lives. Also it is valuble to them as it is their future and their childrens.
With schools already aiming their sustainable development targets high due to government funding and league tables it should be possible by 2105.
Geography incorporates the the surrounding environment and human activities in all areas. It consists of areas that focus on the development of preserving the environment and human attitudes towards it. Therefore with this base it would seem that Geography is the best place in the curriculum for it. However i think it needs to be placed within the other sciences especially biology which also looks at the environment and human impacts.
This module is informative about the issues of sustainable development and is good as it looks at a wide range of different areas. Local and national.
