Abstract
Teacher Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship Education is a specialised innovation in teacher education that gives educators the ability to equip students to tackle issues related to global citizenship and sustainable development (Bamber, 2019). This exploratory study provides a comprehensive literature evaluation based on a qualitative examination of several journals, publications, and official documents to further the dissemination of this niche innovation into teacher education. This study also sought to explore the role of Global Citizenship Education in promoting sustainable development in the context of Teacher education. This study employed a qualitative research methodology with an interpretative perspective. Results showed that a key tool for advancing sustainable development is global citizenship education. The paths that students, researchers, and teacher educators take on global issues, diversity, and multiculturalism can be greatly influenced by global citizenship education.
