I personally believe that one of the main purposes of education is to create informed, socially conscious citizens and especially new generation who possess a sense of responsibility to the Earth and their fellow citizens.
The responsibility rests with the institution, college, department and faculty members to include sustainability in their curriculum. Amir
Sustainability is the new very important subject that should put into all curriculum.
Sustainability is the creation of vital environmental systems,The role of the teacher is consultant and leader.

A good teacher has got all theoretical knowledge to clear the concept of environmental systems.
If a student fallow his/her teacher, he/she can identify the right way toward sustainable Environment.
If a student is not aware, teacher give awareness.
If a student need guidance, teacher guide his/her students.
If a student wants to develop an environment friendly developmental plan, a teacher will polish it.
If a student wants to conduct research, teacher will guide him/her.
Well , this relating to my subjects is menace of battery recycling !!!!
Nope I did not know , until I worked for a bit in that field :)
It depends may be our low energy /low power /low EMI etc etc are all aimed at it ...
Sustainable environment is a wide concept that requires the cooperation of all the society not only the teacher.
If a teacher is doing it before say it, it will give the greatest lesson. This is also true for the environment.
The teacher's first tasks in teaching are: (1) to define and then (2) to provide examples, or in reverse order to (3) to provide examples and (4) from the examples to define.
According to me, a teacher should make their students aware about the significance of environmental sustainability and then motivate them to play their part to maintain the same.
Dear Rai Waqas Azfar Khan,
Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy wrote in one of his works: "If the teacher has only a love for the work, he will be a good teacher. If the teacher has only a love for the student, like a father, a mother, he will be better than the teacher who has read all the books, but has no love for the cause, or for the students. If the teacher combines love for work and students, he is a perfect teacher. "

Sustainable environment is a very new important concept that needs the support of every nationa as well as society not only the teacher.
Depends on the involved players. If you have facilitators aside the teachers than the teachers' role simplifies to transfer the knowledge and make sure the knowledge can impact at behavioural level. If you lack facilitators their role should be assumed by teachers changing from teacher to teacher-trainer-coach. Since this second role involves multiple types of interventions the success rate of this approach is lower for all obvious reasons. There are more variables to be discussed beyond the presence/absence of the facilitators.
Role of teacher is very important as they have to sustained the code of the environment of the function as a teacher .While carrying out the responsibility as teacher they have not to perform their action as a teacher only on the academic level , as they have to judge the performance of the students & also to evaluate in the line of their performance & in case if it is necessary for the students who upgrade his action as a student in such cases certain psychic tech which may help the student to maintain their performance under the confidence .
This is my personal opinion
I personally believe that teacher has primary role in nation building and promoting of sustainable environment is heavily dependent upon teacher motivational role
Teacher are trained to teach, counsel and to mentor. In performing their roles in the society, they need to educate their students the importance of the environment to their existence, reason to keep it safe and their role as individual and group towards sustainable environment. With appropriate methodology and creative awareness, the students will be eager to play a major role to keep the world save as long as they intend to survive.
Providing a healthy and sustainable environment is the goal of many countries around the world to achieve the highest environmental health and safety standards for their communities. The teacher is one of the basic pillars required to build that environment.
Personally I teach biodiversity to students of the second class /Department of Biology and try as much as possible to clarify the importance of sustainability and environmental balance and we are all responsible and from our site to preserve the environment and resources.
Generally speaking, education is a very effective resource by which we can change the world. It is often regarded as a kind of planning for the future events. Therefore, banking on education is an investment in knowledge that pays the best interest. Consequently, the advanced countries of the world allocate a very high budget to education affairs. The reason is that our societal needs can be satisfied through the curricula and the teachers who implement them. Notably, one of the most important needs in the present day and age is to maintain a sustainable environment and teachers certainly play a pivotal role in the process.

The teacher should not teach the radicalism that exists regarding environmental preservation, but show that the concept of sustainability is possible in practice.
Parisa writes very well on this.
Start with the big picture about improving the quality of life for all and understanding the worlds eco-systems.
Then tackle the detail in a particular sector--- like my own which is architecture. where energy, water, pollution and waste are big issues.
Encourage students ti be curious and look widely for solutions. Nature can teach us a lot because it optimises energy and the use of materials besides stimulating cross lateral thinking. In my area biomimetic architecture is emerging as a substantial area of study and research.
History like vernacular architecture for example can teach us lessons from the past as people have found ingenious ways of dealing with the various climates across the world.
in the constructive paradigm they act as a facilitator. they are no longer a knowledge transformer.
Português / Brazil. Sugiro que todos os professores de todas as áreas passem a considerar o item sustentabilidade nas suas aulas.
Um professor de química ou de matemática pode ensinar muito seus alunos sobre as diversas nuances de sustentabilidade. Isto deve ser exercitado em todas as áreas da ciência.
Sou contrário a termos somente uma disciplina traando deste assunto.

I suggest that all teachers from all areas should consider the item sustainability in their classes. A professor of chemistry or mathematics can teach much his students about the various nuances of sustainability. This should be exercised in all areas of science. I am opposed to the terms only a traando discipline in this matter.
While I teach Geosystems and Environmental Science in a classroom setting, the most impactful educational experiences have been with club activities outside of a traditional school setting. Here's a link to a recent report of our club activities: https://wapo.st/2Hy8CfU?tid=ss_mail&utm_term=.b0700328bae0
Western education systems continue to operate as a major constituting force of the contemporary unsustainability. The role of the teacher is to help the student know and feel, both explicitly and tacitly, that the world is not simply a collection of matter to be manipulated, but rather the ground that constitutes us as peoples. This revised 'teaching' will involve questioning more than abstract knowledges and theoretical frameworks. Teachers must also shift the students' implicit relationships with the material world.
Generally teachers take care of their curriculum. A maths teach cannot tell about environment likewise a physics teacher also. Natural science or biology teachers can educate about environment, that too if that particular topic present in curriculum. Otherwise it is better to introduce a subject so that everybody read/study and know how to maintain/protect the environment.
Sustainability training rises to a crucial role in training of future educators and teachers. Educating is an extremely complex task, it includes: skills, ability to ponder and criticize, teaching, training, understanding and planning, communicating and the ability to be a guide for those in training. Educators are very special professionals, they promote empowerment and freedom, they have the task to develop the potential of the person-in-education, as this job is both art and science at the same time.
