This definition includes concepts closely related to ESD, including: environmentally sensitive, democratically engaged, culturally grounded, historically conscious, and gender and diversity respectful (Jules 2011). If the CXC is successful in substantively integrating these foundations into its work, there is great potential for examinations to be a driver of education in the region to provide a more focused push towards ESD. Predictably, the most common examples come from programmes in environmental science, or tourism and leisure, supplying an important economic niche with graduates who have a grounding in principles of conservation and sustainable resource management.
