Mauri Åhlberg (2003): I have come to a tentative conclusion that from 1950s (Donaldson & Donaldson 1958) we have understood that there are three strands in Environmental Education: (1) education and learning about environment (2) education and learning in environment (3) education and learning for environment The last one comes nearest Education for Sustainable Development.

Mauri Åhlberg (2003): In addition to
ecology
economics
quality improvement
organisation development
peace education

human rights education etc are important aspects of Education for Sustainable Development

Mauri Åhlberg (2003): Education for Sustainable Development, when it is best, is integrating best theories and best practices, testing constructed new tentative theories both theoretically and empirically when it is possible .

Mauri Åhlberg (2003): 'Sustainable development is development in which real long term needs of both present and future human generations are met as optimally as possible. This means that not only the basic individual biological needs, but also real economical, cultural and social needs ought to be met.'
