  • Summary

    Sustainability science education research since the work of Kates et al. (2001) suggests that, despite uncertainties regarding the field and its methods, students are engaged in sustainability research, gain confidence when faced with a real-world problem to address, and learn to interact effectively with stakeholders in a team situation. Sustainability science education also benefits from introducing students to interdisciplinarity and wicked problem-solving. Challenges include the lack of agreement on what sustainability education entails, institutional resistance to interdisciplinary approaches, staffing and funding, lack of administrative support, and identifying and assessing key competencies. However, despite the challenges, there are several notable approaches developed and programs initiated for undergraduates.
