Abstract

Society can move towards sustainable future by integrating interdisciplinary knowledge in education for sustainable development (ESD), promoting sustainable practices. ESD is closely related to geography. It can be said that the educational content of the subject of geography includes almost all the goals of sustainable development. We reviewed scientific publications in the main collection of Web of Science, Scopus, and Dimensions databases as a result of systematic analysis of literature. We selected 24 articles in accordance with the research questions of the theoretical basis and practice of ESD implementation in school geography with the use of qualitative content analysis. The results obtained have revealed that the subject of geography at school has not lost its importance as a leading subject in the promotion of ESD. We propose prospective research in this area in order to improve the educational content and teaching practices of school geography in promoting ESD.
