Much education for sustainable development (ESD) is idealistic: too firmly anchored in attempts to reshape learners’ values and encourage support for reformist measures seeking slightly more sustainable versions of ‘business as usual’. This chapter argues for a more realistic approach: acknowledging issues of inequality, social class, and sustainability politics; firmly anchored in the realities of the dominant forms of unsustainable development and underdevelopment shaping the contemporary world; and attentive to the struggles of the workers and citizens to introduce more sustainable alternatives. Its argument moves from sustainability as a frame of mind through sustainability ethics to political economy and the current crisis of neo-liberal capitalism. The reader is encouraged to consider the merits of green socialism as against green new deals, and Danny Dorling’s ideas on why capitalism and inequality persist. Critical pedagogy finds space for such ideas and should be practiced in democratic classrooms and common community schools where learners debate and shape equality, democracy and sustainability for themselves. An analysis of four key texts, published during the UN Decade of ESD, suggests that they largely ignore a more realistic approach and support the idealistic status quo.
