Abstract<\/span><\/p>

Education for sustainable development is referred to as education that \u201cempowers learners to take informed decisions and responsible actions for environmental integrity, economic viability and a just society, for present and future generations, while respecting cultural diversity.\u201d Sustainable development needs innovation to drive competitiveness, and demands technological infrastructure to create an environment where the latest technology and knowledge can blend to trigger new approaches and solutions. Therefore, sustainable economic growth requires new qualities and different features, and solicits educational systems to equip learners and students with skills and competencies that help them manage change and generate and execute ideas through flexibility and initiative. Problem solving ability is one of the important abilities that students need to achieve in learning and is part of the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) goal competence. Problem-solving skills are essential for sustainability, as they allow you to address complex and dynamic challenges, find innovative solutions, and adapt to changing circumstances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Keywords:<\/span> Sustainable Development, innovation, problem solving, environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Impact Statement<\/span><\/p>

Sustainable development hinges on our ability to solve complex problems. We need innovative solutions that meet current needs without compromising the environment or future generations. Problem-solving skills allow us to think creatively and develop sustainable approaches. Strong problem-solving involves analyzing information and weighing social, economic, and environmental factors. This ensures well-rounded decisions with long-term consequences in mind. Problem-solving equips us to plan, implement, and adapt these solutions to changing circumstances.<\/span><\/p>

Collaboration is key for many sustainability challenges. Problem-solving fosters teamwork and communication, enabling people with diverse expertise to tackle issues together. Additionally, effective problem-solvers are lifelong learners, constantly seeking new information and refining their approaches.<\/span><\/p>

Finally, widespread education in problem-solving is crucial. By equipping individuals with critical thinking and creative problem-solving techniques, we empower them to become active agents of change. This fosters a future where problem-solving skills drive sustainable development for all.<\/span><\/p>
