Education for sustainable development (ESD) is the educational stream of the sustainability discourse. One rather critical component of ESD has a lot in common with the degrowth discourse.

Key points from the degrowth discourse could help making a degrowth-informed ESD an active part of positive socio-ecological transformations.
