"It's interesting to note the transition from environment education to education for sustainable development and now the system is moving towards more focused climate change education," said Dr Ram Boojh, Director Programme, Mobius Foundation.

Sustainability education is an untapped resource in addressing challenges related to environment, climate change and sustainable development. Although, there have been various efforts globally in this direction, still educators as well as policy makers have not yet fully utilized potential of education to address these challenges.

There is a hope that the conference will help thought leaders of the sector in creating a network of stakeholders. It will enhance the capacity of the sector to take better decisions that will ultimately improve the efficiency and quality.

"Curriculum developers are the backbones of our education system and are often kept in background and play hardly any role in the implementation process. With ICSE 2019 we are trying to provide platform for them to participate actively and contribute from formulation to implantation," Dr. Bhooj further said.

With the aim to bridge the gap between practice and theory, ICSE will be a unique platform working in the unchartered territory of environmental education aiming to bring practitioners and educators together. Stakeholders from all walks will discuss the challenges towards transformation to an inclusive and quality education and way to mitigate them.
