This edited volume examines how traditional and contemporary narratives influence sustainability education through philosophical and ethical perspectives. Emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach, it explores how storytelling and narrative approaches can enrich educational frameworks and foster deeper environmental awareness. Centered on the themes of knowledge, love, and care, the book offers practical insights for integrating these values into teaching practices. Advocating a holistic shift in education, it aims to cultivate environmentally responsible citizens by nurturing not only understanding but also emotional and ethical engagement with the planet.Chapters 7 and 10 are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
