Environmental Education (EE) and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has a long history in Namibia and the southern African region. Education for the environment is recognised as an important component by governments, who have integrated it into laws, policies, and the curriculum on some level. EE/ESD has a solid foundation in Namibia with the National EE/ESD Policy, related Strategy & Action Plan and the technical ESD Task Force to guide implementation within all sectors, nationally and internationally, including formal education. It is important to develop a strong understanding of the policy frameworks and the concept of sustainable development and to learn how we, as educators, can incorporate it into our everyday teaching. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is an integrated concept that combines a progressive approach to education with the universal purpose of protecting our Earth. ESD is hands-on, exploratory, and open-ended in nature. ESD teaching and learning is life-long and involves everyone. It presents the opportunity to use a variety of teaching methods in different learning environments and demands attention on the issues fuelling the global environmental crisis. This involves understanding our environmental ethics and the motivations behind our actions. Our ESD methods and approaches are key to creating the change that we want to see in the world.
