| 英文摘要: | As a nation, we are becoming increasingly aware of our impact on the environment, particularly since
Indonesia is the second richest country in the world in regards to biodiversity. Our lifestyle and consumption choices are putting pressure on the environment and natural resources, and it is crucial for our education system to address this reality. Internationally, sustainable consumption is still not central topics in educational systems today. In fact, mainstreaming education for sustainable consumption in formal education curricula and in informal education remains a challenge, as ESC is generally not considered a priority either in developing or in developed countries.Introduction to Education for Sustainable Consumption (ESC) in Indonesia provides national recommendations and guidelines organized into five main chapters:
