dc.description.abstractThis study analyzes the opportunities and challenges in establishing graduate-level environmental schools to address increasingly complex and severe environmental crises, particularly the impacts of global climate change, which has increased by 1.1¡C since the pre-industrial era and is likely to reach 1.5¡C by the 2030s without urgent action. The study reveals five key opportunities: responding to labor market demands, integrating interdisciplinary knowledge, leveraging digital technologies, fostering green innovations, and supporting sustainable development goals. Conversely, seven primary challenges are identified: designing curricula that encompass complex environmental issues, balancing theory and practice, adapting to rapid changes, managing resources, building cross-sector partnerships, cultivating diverse skill sets in students, and fostering environmental consciousness. The study emphasizes the importance of developing flexible curricula and integrating practical learning experiences.This study contributes significantly to the ongoing discourse on environmental education and provides insights for policymakers and educational institutions in developing effective environmental schools for the future. The findings underscore the potential of environmental schools to create positive societal and environmental impacts by developing human resources capable of navigating future social and environmental transitions. © 2024, Research and Development Institute Suan Dusit University.
