There are no article processing charges, or any charges to authors. It is a free, open-access scholarly journal, managed by volunteers. The IEJ, (ISSN 1443-1475), publishes a general volume bi-annually in July and December and also publishes Special Editions occasionally. The International Education Journal: Comparative Perspectives is the official journal of the Oceania Comparative and International Education Socie ty. I then examine selected Pacific notions of ESD and their implications for formal education. In this presentation, I problematize the notion of ESD by first providing a brief background of what ESD means to the international community by discussing the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD 2004-14). Many people who talk about, teach, and do things related to ESD know that ESD is not straightforward or as easy as they would like or had expected. It is also assumed that most people in the world today know what the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are and most educators know about Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). At the University of the South Pacific (USP), where I work, it is in your face when you open its website: “Excellence and sustainability in higher education”. Sustainable development, like climate change, has become the new rave globally, regionally, and nationally. ESD, DESD 2004-14, Paific pedagogies, Pacific research Abstract
