SUSTAINABILITY HUMAN WELL-BEING AND THE FUTURE ...

This open access book explores the key dimensions of a future education system designed to
enable individuals  schools  and communities to achieve the twin twenty-first century
challenges of sustainability and human well-being. For much of the twentieth century  Western
education systems prepared students to enter the workforce  contribute to society and succeed
in relatively predictable contexts. Today  people are at the controls of the planet-making
decisions that are dramatically reshaping social  economic  and environmental systems at a
global scale. What is education's purpose in this new reality? What and how must we learn now?
The volatility and uncertainty caused by digitalization  globalization  and climate change
weave a common backdrop through each chapter. Using case studies drawn from Finland and the US
chapter authors explore various aspects of learning and education system design through the
lenses of sustainability and human well-being to evaluate how our understanding and practice of
education must transform. Using their scholarly research and experience as practitioners  the
authors propose new approaches to preparing learners for a new frontier of the human experience
fraught with risks but full of opportunity.
