Abstract
This study aims to understand the current trends in environmental education (EE) and education for sustainable development (ESD) in Indonesia and identify potential gaps in the scientific literature. This study used a systematic literature review (SLR) and a questionnaire survey sent to eight experts in EE and ESD. The Adiwiyata program is considered to be the oldest topic studied by researchers. The Adiwiyata program is a massive EE program in K-12 (kindergarten to 12th grade) education that is popular in Indonesia. During the pandemic, the Adiwiyata program could not be held, and the research topic shifted to students’ behavioral changes. Therefore, gaps in the implementation of EE and ESD in higher education institutions (HEI) have been spotted; thus, research on this aspect should be enhanced. The transformation of EE to ESD in Indonesia should begin with improvements in the quality and competency of human resources.
