To achieve this the book discusses issues rarely addressed through programs in " Education for Sustainability" and " Environmental Education " such as student defined knowledge systems deep engagement with the implications of indigenous understandings climate change as symptomatic of broad epistemological problems social disengagement and differentiated barriers to meaningful change.

As such this book will be of great interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students in a range of education and environmental courses.
