Abstract

The concept of sustainability has garnered significant attention in recent years, underscoring the necessity to integrate sustainable practices into various sectors, including education. Promoting Transformative Practices for Sustainability in Early Childhood Education and Care: Cultivating Critical, Participatory and Emancipatory Educational Approaches aims to further bridge the gap between sustainability and early childhood education. This book stems from a collective reflection on the meaning and power of practice in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC). It explores the transformative potential of early education practices in fostering sustainable development, emphasising critical, participatory and emancipatory approaches. © 2026 selection and editorial matter.
