At a time when our planet faces unprecedented challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource degradation, the need for well-structured, multidisciplinary environmental education has never been greater. This book succeeds in presenting complex issues in a lucid and engaging manner, while also encouraging critical reflection and problem-solving skills among learners. I am particularly appreciative of the book’s holistic approach—connecting scientific perspectives with social, cultural, and ethical dimensions. Its alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) makes it especially relevant for today’s generation of students who must become future leaders in sustainability.

I strongly recommend this book as an essential resource for all undergraduate programs. It will not only build environmental literacy but also inspire young minds to think deeply, act responsibly, and contribute meaningfully towards a more sustainable and resilient world”.
