Abstract
As the 21st Century begins, the world is experiencing a Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0). The three previous industrial revolutions shaped significant social and educational transformations, and Industry 4.0 is expected to do the same. It is expected that every area of society and economy will be affected, including education in higher education institutions. Using a scoping literature review comprising five stages this article aims to analyse the impacts of Industry 4.0 on education for sustainable development (ESD) in higher education institutions. It is observed that Industry 4.0 is driven by nine technological categories of advancement. Seven specific areas of technology were identified in the literature as being influencers on ESD. This article provides a starting point for further studies on the application of Industry 4.0 technologies for ESD.
