摘要：This study examines the important challenges related to the sustainability. This study is based on review of the existing literature on sustainable development. However the question is that whether environmental education, awareness and people participation can improve the human life. How can sustainability challenges overcome through creating the awareness about the environmental problems? The objective is also to create a sense of responsibility through education, participation and action as group, individual. This study fills the gap of people's actually sustainable behavior and attitude and provides useful implication for decision maker for public policy. This study suggests that, it is more appropriate and feasible to create a civic sense in the society about the sustainability issues, which are associated with civic citizenship education, civic awareness and civic participation. The concept of civic sustainability (be able to think and act) empowers change in society through civic education, civic awareness and civic participation.
