The advance of digital technologies and artificial intelligence is profoundly transforming educational systems, learning processes, teaching practices, and the organisation of knowledge. Increasingly urgent questions are emerging about the environmental, social, cognitive, and ethical implications of expanding digital infrastructures and AI tools.

At the same time, the critical and informed use of these technologies may help educational systems move more quickly beyond outdated models and create access to significant new opportunities, sometimes through processes of technological leapfrogging.

This theme promotes interdisciplinary discussion on the ambivalent role of digital technology and artificial intelligence in education, bringing together pedagogy, environmental studies, philosophy of technology, sociology, computer science, media studies, and public policy.

While young people are often highly visible in movements and initiatives, adults remain crucial because of their roles as workers, migrants, voters, policymakers, Indigenous persons, practitioners, scientists, and citizens. They often carry practical knowledge, historical memory, and lived experience that can support intergenerational learning and civic engagement. Environmental volunteering and participation in collective action can contribute to active ageing, while older people are also among the groups most exposed to climate and environmental injustice. In many countries, especially wealthier ones, they represent a growing share of the population.

We welcome contributions on adult learning processes and methodologies; intergenerational learning; workplace learning and vocational education; community-based and popular education in the Freirean tradition; learning within organisations; pedagogies of care; situated, transgressive, and transformative learning; and education for eco-citizenship, among other approaches that can strengthen both the theory and practice of adult environmental education.

Preparing for the future requires a critical understanding of current socioeconomic models and their uneven effects across the Global South and the Global North. This includes transitions towards low-carbon economies and more sustainable ways of living. Environmental education must therefore be decolonised by recognising and valuing voices from the Global South, respecting traditional and local knowledge, and moving beyond the dominant logics of globalisation.

This theme builds on the resilience of Indigenous peoples, small island nations, and local communities, including those in Europe and North America, while promoting planetary citizenship and awareness of our shared destiny on Earth, our common home; on critical thinking and science-based scenarios that challenge mainstream narratives of unlimited growth.

This theme also addresses: responses to eco-anxiety, mistrust, passivity, and inaction, including approaches grounded in emotional intelligence; critiques of the myth of endless growth and inevitable progress; critiques of transmissive models that still dominate many formal education systems; comparative perspectives on educational systems worldwide, including their blockages, innovations, weaknesses, and risks, to rethink the role of education; the need for coherent teacher and academic training at all levels as a foundation for transformative education.

Schools and universities remain fragmented into disciplines that separate what is inherently interconnected. Beyond formal structures, further hidden divisions shape educational work and the broader contexts in which it unfolds.

This theme asks how environmental education can create dialogue, circulation, and mutual transformation among ideas, concepts, and goals across fields of knowledge and training. As a driver of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary education, environmental education can support holistic and systemic thinking across multiple scales of space and time, helping learners understand how environmental, social, economic, and cultural dimensions interact.
