Education is an important mechanism of sustainable development implementation. Education
for sustainable development (ESD) is one of the priorities of international organizations (UN,
UNESCO, and other), and national governments from the beginning of the 1990s. Experience
generated over three decades of implementation of ESD, as well as theoretical studies show that
a whole-institution approach is required for effective furthering of ESD. Withing this approach the
priorities shift from including ESD issues into a few selected subjects or events to applying ESD
as a foundation for the entire functioning of an educational institution (including management and
budget, education, professional development, campus design, resource use, community relations
etc). The research presented in the article has been completed using systemic, problematic, and
comparative approaches. Ecological systems theory and educational design are suggested as theoretical and methodological foundations for the whole institution approach. They point at the
need to take into consideration child’s natural and socio-cultural environment in designing education
systems. The article considers practical cases (for example, international “Eco-schools” network,
Anglo-American school and other) which can be replicated in and by other organizations.
