EMPOWERING SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH GREEN TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION

Abstract

Green technology is regarded as one of the key elements that can minimize environmental quality degradation and contribute to a healthier environment. Additionally, its application in the field of education is considered crucial for fostering students’ interest in valuing the environment. The knowledge learned by students can be practiced and disseminated to the community, promoting a more sustainable nation. This concept paper is intended to provide environmentally relevant information and sustainable development education (ESD), emphasizing the importance of green technology. This focus arises from the limited awareness of environmental conservation within the community. Consequently, environmental conservation awareness is seen as something that should be nurtured from childhood, as future generations are expected to drive significant change. The application of green technology as a driver of sustainable development education (ESD) is anticipated to contribute to addressing environmental issues. Moreover, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is identified as having a significant role in advancing the greening of TVET, which is linked to green technology and ESD.
