2015年9月，联合国成员国一致承认需要一个更可持续的世界，当时制定了17个可持续发展目标（SDG），将教育置于促进可持续发展战略的核心。本文件旨在说明采用跨学科方法进行可持续发展教育的重要性，并说明如何推进这一方法，同时承认在多样性背景下对可持续性和企业社会责任的不同看法。它审查了可持续发展目标的广泛议程，这需要多个学科和部门的参与才能实现。本文结合《责任管理教育原则》（PRME），回顾了跨学科教育在可持续发展教育中的应用，包括实践和障碍，并以一个案例说明了如何在不同背景的MBA研究生中推进跨学科教育，可持续发展的概念已经渗透到各个学科的课程中。该案例说明了PRME六项原则的应用，并解释了可持续性和企业社会责任模块如何鼓励学生将所有学科的知识联合收割机结合起来，以促进他们对可持续发展问题的理解和行动。(C)2017爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
The need for a more sustainable world was unanimously acknowledged by United Nations members in September 2015, when 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were set, positioning education at the heart of the strategy to promote sustainable development. This paper aims to demonstrate the importance of adopting an interdisciplinary approach to education for sustainable development, and to illustrate how to advance it, acknowledging different perspectives of sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the context of diversity. It examines the broad agenda of the SDGs, which requires the participation of multiple disciplines and sectors to be delivered. Considering the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), the paper reviews the literature regarding interdisciplinarity and its application in education for sustainable development, including practices and barriers to enhance it. A case study is provided to illustrate how to advance interdisciplinary education for sustainable development amongst postgraduate MBA students from different backgrounds, in a course where sustainable development concepts are already embedded across disciplines. The case illustrates the application of the Six Principles of PRME and explains how a sustainability and CSR module can encourage students to combine knowledge from all disciplines in order to advance their understanding and action on sustainable development issues.
