The key challenges for work on education related to environmental concerns, and especially the pressing issue of climate change: the overall conceptualisation of central ideas such as Environmental Education (EE), Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Climate Change Education (CCE).

The need to effectively address climate change – both through mitigation and adaptation strategies – has been increasingly recognised within both research and policy on EE and ESD. In 2009, for example, a UNESCO policy dialogue document acknowledged that human-caused climate change is a major global issue and argued that addressing it is part of the mandate of ESD. The broader question, however, is whether Climate Change Education (CCE) will be integrated within ESD or will gain the status of an independent and perhaps even competing field. The work of the IALEI project suggests that CCE has not, in general, emerged as an independent field, but rather as an integral part of EE and ESD.
