We have the knowledge, but where are the actions? There is substantive knowledge of the elements of the sustainability crisis, as well as potential solutions. Knowledge has not fully transformed into actions however. In my PhD thesis, I am studying sustainability education for adults: what kind of pedagogy would be able to address the question of inaction, and how this pedagogy could be applied in informal learning settings. I suggest a combination of sustainability education and nature restoration as one pedagogical solution to the problem, and thus study nature restoration as sustainability education for adults, organized as part of a city’s climate action. I collect my data by taking part in a city’s climate action nature restoration project, which includes voluntary work by citizens. The study produces practical knowledge which can be of use to different public sector actors, who can apply it as informal adult sustainability education in their climate action.
