Description
As environmental crises intensify and social inequities widen, universities face unprecedented demands to advance Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Yet traditional educational approaches may no longer be sufficient to meet the scale and urgency of preparing students for these complex challenges. Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative force in higher education, offering remarkable possibilities to revolutionize how universities deliver ESD programs, conduct sustainability research, and model sustainable practices. From personalized learning pathways that develop essential sustainability competencies to sophisticated simulation environments that enable students to explore complex decision-making scenarios, AI presents opportunities to fundamentally reimagine sustainability education. This keynote explores how universities can harness AI to create more effective, engaging, and impactful ESD initiatives. Through examples drawn from diverse educational contexts and innovative pedagogical approaches, we will examine both the extraordinary potential and the critical ethical considerations that shape responsible AI adoption in sustainability education. How can universities leverage these powerful technologies while ensuring equity, transparency, and environmental responsibility in their ESD programs? What does the future of sustainability education look like when enhanced by artificial intelligence? Join us to explore these vital questions and discover how AI might transform the very role universities play in educating tomorrow's sustainability leaders.| Period | 8 Oct 2025 |
