The interplay of environmental education, investment in education, and environmental innovation: Pathways toward sustainable development

Environmental concerns and criticism of economic and industrial expansion gave rise to the concept of sustainable development, which aims to meet the demands of the current generation while preserving resources for future generations. Significant changes in community life at all levels are necessary for sustainable growth. Citizens and civil society must be involved in this change, and education and understanding of sustainable development are prerequisites. Without universal access to education and raising human awareness, sustainable development would remain a shallow and obscene catchphrase. Education is the foundation of our modern world's progress. The purpose of this study is to review the studies about the importance of environmental education due to environmental educational investment and environmental innovation. The results indicate that human resources development will be the key to sustainable and all-encompassing development and that investing in human resources through education, particularly environmental education, which is a fundamental component and pillar of any society, is a necessary condition for any development to occur and continue. Widespread, ongoing, all-encompassing, and inclusive actions are required to raise environmental awareness because education is one of the most important aspects influencing each nation's sustainable development.Environmental concerns and criticism of economic and industrial expansion gave rise to the concept of sustainable development, which aims to meet the demands of the current generation while preserving resources for future generations.
