About the Book

This book aims to provide a comprehensive guide to understanding and implementing the competencies required for sustainable development. In recent years, the need for sustainable development has become increasingly evident across various sectors globally. Climate change, resource depletion, and social inequalities pose significant challenges that demand urgent and comprehensive action. The concept of sustainable development is not merely an environmental concern; it encompasses economic, social, and governance dimensions, necessitating a holistic approach to address these interlinked issues effectively. It seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical frameworks and practical applications, offering insights that are relevant to policymakers, educators, business leaders, and individuals committed to sustainability. The genesis of this book lies in the recognition that achieving sustainable development is contingent upon building and enhancing competencies at multiple levels—individual, organizational, and societal. Competence in sustainable development involves a combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that empower individuals and organizations to contribute effectively to sustainable goals. One of the key strengths of this book is its multidisciplinary approach. Sustainable development is inherently interdisciplinary, requiring insights from environmental science, economics, social sciences, and management studies. The contributors to this book bring diverse perspectives and expertise, ensuring a rich and nuanced exploration of the subject matter. Furthermore, this book emphasizes the importance of education and training in building competencies for sustainable development. It discusses innovative educational approaches, curricula development, and the role of institutions in fostering a culture of sustainability. The role of technology and digital tools in enhancing sustainable practices is also highlighted, recognizing their potential to drive significant positive change.
