Abstract
Many researchers from a wide range of disciplines seek to assess and better understand the complexities of sustainability by arguing that in order to understand sustainability one requires to adopt a multidisciplinary systemic lens that takes into account the interconnection of economic, social, environmental and political issues. This paper aims to contribute to a relevant academic and scholar discussion on how to prepare students for systems thinking towards advancing sustainability by providing concrete guidelines for the curriculum. The author argues that the curriculum related to sustainable development and corporate social responsibility should highlight systems thinking towards solving sustainable development priorities. By presenting a theoretical systemic analysis and synthesis of scientific literature, this article follows an exploratory approach to assess the importance of systems thinking in developing curriculum for sustainability.
Keywords: sustainable development, sustainability, CSR, systems thinking.
