Almost half of the human population is under the age of 25. If we young people are given education, political support, resources, skills, and hope, they will promote sustainable development of our planet. If they are misdirected, civilization risks destabilization. The book “Young People, Education and Sustainable Development: Exploring Principles, Perspectives and Praxis” shows how to use this powerful opportunity for society. It includes 38 essays, representing a diversity of culture, gender and generation. It provides a global perspective on theory and praxis of education by and for young people. The preface is written by Wangari Maathai, the foreword by Gus Speth, and the afterword by Ruud Lubbers. The publication is a contribution to the UN Decade on Education for Sustainable Development. It is primarily targeted to policy makers, educators and researchers in education. It also appeals to students, youth serving organisations, civil society; and young people.
