This book explains how ESD approaches work in the Japanese context; their effects on different stakeholders; and their ultimate potential contribution to society in Japan. It considers ESD in both formal and informal education sectors, recognizing that even when classroom learning takes place it must be place-based and predicated on a specific community context. The book explores not only Why ESD', but why and how ESD in Japan has gained importance in the past decade and more recently in the wake of the triple disaster of March 2011. It considers how ESD can help Japan recover and adapt to disasters and take initiative in building more resilient and sustainable communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume asks the questions: What are some examples of positive contributions by ESD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003eTop-down and bottom-up ESD: divergence and convergence of Japanese ESD discourses and practices \u003cbr\u003eYoko Mochizuki\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: School-based approaches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1.
