Ilkka Ratinen; Jubeen Sharbaf Kashani; Lassi Linnanen – Environmental Education Research, 2025
Current environmental risks, such as climate change and nature loss, force us to look for solutions in every sector of society. A successful sustainability transition requires the manipulation of deep systemic leverage points. Hence, a deep leverage point framework based on sustainability competencies is needed to conceptualise sustainability…

Venugopal, Pingali; Kour, Harwinder – Industry and Higher Education, 2021
Human production and consumption activities are depleting the earth's resources faster than they are being replenished. The Global Footprint network estimates "Earth Overshoot Day 2020" (the day the use of natural resources during the year crosses the regeneration capacity for the year) to be 22 August. A shift from linear to circular…

Liu, Hsin-Lung – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2017
Education does more than give students facts; it develops their potential and trains them to adapt to and improve their living environment. Through education, students formulate informed ideas about the interactions between people, things, and the environment. In an era of global environmental change, students must understand environmental…

Barbalios, N.; Ioannidou, I.; Tzionas, P.; Paraskeuopoulos, S. – Computers & Education, 2013
This paper introduces a realistic 3D model supported virtual environment for environmental education, that highlights the importance of water resource sharing by focusing on the tragedy of the commons dilemma. The proposed virtual environment entails simulations that are controlled by a multi-agent simulation model of a real ecosystem consisting…
