Integrating Indigenous Wisdom and Green Morality in Citizenship Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)

Abstract


Environmental degradation has increased the urgency of integrating sustainable values into education. This study explores how indigenous wisdom and green morality are internalized within citizenship education to support Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). The purpose is to analyze the traditional values of the Kuta indigenous community and their role in fostering civic responsibility and environmental awareness. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that traditional ecological practices and moral customs effectively instill values of environmental stewardship and civic competence. Because these values are passed down through generations and reinforced in daily community life, they offer a sustainable model for character development. The impact of this research lies in demonstrating how indigenous cultural frameworks can strengthen ESD goals, providing practical insights for educators and policymakers seeking to promote environmental ethics and civic engagement through culturally rooted approaches.
