Abstract

With COVID-19 continuously afflicting people all over the world, economic, environmental, as well as societal crises arise. Among all the possible solutions, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) might be the most fundamental to deal with these crises and achieve sustainability in different fields. It aims to empower learners with knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to address growing sustainability challenges. Integrating ESD into current higher educational system might help to produce better decision-makers and more responsible change agents, and then help cope with unexpected situations like COVID-19. The study aims to explore more effective ways to integrate ESD into all process of teaching and learning in China’s higher education institutions, through case study of Chongqing Finance and Economics College (CFEC), China. A total of 153 undergraduates from finance, economics, business, and computer science programme were involved in this study. In addition, six teachers and ten students are interviewed privately online or offline. Focusing on ESD principles, taking all processes of education, and incorporating the current challenges mainly COVID-19 as part of the teaching content or scenario of students’ activities, the educators might develop a localized model of ESD.
