SUSTAINABILITY EDUCATION: DEVELOPING A TEACHING-LEARNING FRAMEWORK FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS

Sustainability education is crucial in preparing the next generation for a sustainable future. College students are
particularly important as they are future leaders and influencers. However, effective teaching-learning frameworks
for sustainability education are required to achieve this goal. This research paper explores the development of a
teaching-learning framework for college students in Mumbai that promotes sustainable growth. The paper discusses
the concept of sustainability education, its importance, and challenges, followed by an analysis of the current state
of sustainability education in Mumbai. Based on this analysis, a teaching-learning framework is proposed that aims
to promote sustainability literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills among college students. The
framework is designed to empower students to become leaders in sustainable development. The paper concludes that
developing a teaching-learning framework for sustainability education is essential for achieving sustainable growth
in Mumbai and beyond.
