The world is struggling due to the issue of climate change; therefore, it is essential to develop collaborative effort from a coalition of organizations to make sustainability education effective. This not only promotes ways to amend sustainable practices; but also, it helps address sustainability issues at a global level. The present research has been attempted for the purpose of defining the future of sustainability education through integrating the subject into mainstream education and policy frameworks. Also, focus has been laid on defining the role of technological advancements, which not only improves teaching and learning processes but also defines the contribution of technology in saving the environment. From the study, several challenges have been identified that impede sustainability education; therefore, it is essential to take necessary steps or formulate effective strategies to improve sustainability efforts in the community.

With the development of placed-based and personalized learning as the subsequent step in the transformation of the school, it is the correct time to take these mechanisms one step further by emphasizing the project and personalized learning on locally, country-wide, and internationally relevant objects. With the enhancement in student agency, the student can achieve experience regarding the implementation of knowledge, and the society achieves a significant resource in the people of willing and excited students desiring to better the long-term health and well-being of the society. Through a place-based perspective and individualized learning, we can develop an effective educational foundation. In order, to progress into more than merely learners, students must gain the knowledge, skills, abilities, and independence essential for contributing positively to the globe's and their communities' development in the years ahead which is possible only through place-based learning.

STEM education is uniquely important to prepare the students for success as it helps in developing several skills that are pertinent for future jobs. STEM courses especially engineering and technology enables the students to get engaged in hands-on-projects wherein they not only build a simple robot or engine but also can integrate technologies that can assist in running sustainability programs effectively. In this context, the current chapter attempts to integrate STEM subjects and sustainability in main education for the purpose of developing eco-leaders. The study in this realm states the importance of integrating sustainability topics in STEM and how the use of different technologies and innovation can help in sustaining the environment. The chapter further identifies the barriers which education institutions experience while integrating sustainability concepts in STEM education.
