Special Issue: Contemporary Research on Early Childhood Education for Sustainability (original) (raw)

This special issue revisits the significance of early childhood education for sustainability (ECEfS) nearly a decade after the initial 2009 publication. It emphasizes the ethical responsibility of educators to address global climate change and its impacts on children's well-being, advocating for research that unravels the systemic barriers to sustainable education.
