摘要：This article identifies general trends in implementation of education for sustainable development into higher education in Latvia. The purpose of this study is to explore to what extent and by means of which approach the higher education institutions in Latvia have been attempting to incorporate sustainability in the curricula. The questioning on 8 higher education institutions was conducted and the current initiatives of practices were assessed. The study results show that higher education institutions are at the first stage of transforming their curricula towards education for sustainable development, and the efforts to incorporate the issues of sustainability into the curricula can rather be characterised as education about sustainable development. Major emphasis is put on the links between environmental education and education for sustainable development.
