Abstract This book is an exceptional piece of work in many respects.First of all, it represents an in-depth assessment of thestatus of environmental and sustainability education inEthiopia by revealing the policy provisions against the edu-cational backdrop of practical efforts on the ground. Se-condly, and in line with this broad analytical framework, itwill definitely be of a vital interest to a large variety of rea-ders: students, teachers, researchers, and policy makers,to mention a few. It has to be pointed out that the book isan outcome of the author?s thorough and extensive re-search on the Ethiopian education system, with a markedfocus on higher education institutions. Thus, this longitu-dinal study does not only allow profound portrayals as towhether and where national environmental and develop-ment policies either flourish or perish, but also tackles thesesometimes sensitive issues in a constructive manner there-by offering important suggestions on a way forward. Given the fact that raising awareness of and attitude toward environmental and sustainability issuesfacing his country form a pressing issue, Aklilu Dalelo?s book on the situation in Ethiopia ? belongingto the world?s region that is called the cradle of humankind ? may be seen as a timely contributionto the ongoing debate in Africa whereby ?green growth? is seen as an essential element of thecontinent?s structural economic transformation towards a sustainable future.(HRK / Abstract übernommen)
