Greg William Misiaszek is a Distinguished Professor at the Faculty of Education, Tohoku University, Japan, and an Associate Director of Paulo Freire Institute, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), USA.

This thoughtful book poses inconvenient and uncomfortable questions to neoliberal development models and provides critical thinking to read the “World” as part of the “Earth”. Ecopedagogy reinvents environmental education and sustainable development to be more effective in achieving global social justice and planetary environmental justice. Greg Misiaszek takes readers – scholars, students and educators – on a journey based on Freire’s later writing and critical pedagogy exploring the need of a paradigm shift in the environmental pedagogies, challenging us to rethink sustainable development and to critically deconstruct SDGs.
