Abstract
Environmental issues arise in different regions due to human activities using the natural resources without considering the sustainability for future generations. Education has an important role in the sustainable development because it is related to other sustainable development goals. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of environmental education through Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) approach. A literature review of previous research studies used to identify the relationship between environmental education and ESD. The result of this study is a framework for conducting more comprehensive research to overcome regional environmental problems through formal education. It showed that environmental education has the same approach as ESD, which is interdisciplinary, lifelong learning, and prioritizes local cultures in observation and solving local to international issues. Both environmental education and ESD aim to change people's perspectives and behaviour.

Summary
The increase in population, the necessities of life, and the advancement of science and technology have resulted in several ecological crises [1]. In order to improve the ethics of modern society in dealing with nature and fellow humans, numerous cases of contamination and environmental degradation that arise in various regions must be addressed by shifts in the perspective of ecological and systematic research. This is expressed in a global collaborative movement involving all communities in order for environmental ethics to become a culture that is maintained, taught, and passed on to other people and future generations [2]. This paper aims to investigate how environmental education can be used to achieve sustainable development using an ESD approach and a literature review
