Abstract

Education for sustainable development (ESD) aims at developing key competencies that enable individuals to help the world society progress on a more sustainable path. There is, as yet, no agreement in the international debate on what are the most important key competencies. Against this background, the thesis asks: Which individual key competencies are crucial for understanding central challenges facing the world society and for facilitating its development towards a more sustainable future?

Keywords: education for sustainable development, key competencies, sustainable development, international, delphi study
