Abstract

Green technology can be seen as one of the elements that can minimize environmental quality degradation and provide a healthier environment. In addition, green technology is also important to be applied in the field of education to inculcate student's interest in appreciating the environment. Students can also practice the knowledge learned and disseminated to the community towards a more sustainable country. This concept paper aims to provide environmentally relevant information and sustainable development education (ESD) in line with the importance of green technology. This is due to the lack of awareness of environmental conservation and conservation among the community. Therefore, the awareness of environmental conservation should be nurtured since childhood as those who will change the next generation. Hence, the application of green technology as a sustainable development education driver (ESD) is expected to help address environmental issues. Additionally, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) can also play an important role in the greening of TVET greening that can be linked to green technology and ESD.
