Investigating the political dimension of environmental sustainable education
Sustainability issues are multidimensional, often requiring political, social, and emotional reflection. Environmental sustainable education (ESE) generally has a political dimension because of the complexity of sustainability issues. The political dimension can take many forms, including political deliberation and political moments. Scholars have argued that political deliberation, specifically those that are conflict-oriented because individuals do not necessarily agree about a topic, can help teachers emphasize the political dimension of ESE.
