Abstract: In this paper, the critical success factors of sustainable education on the recovery of green energy resources in three countries, China, Japan, and India, were studied using a survey, hierarchical analysis, and TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) methods. The research findings showed that in China, the most crucial success factors of sustainable education to have green energy recovery are green culture in society, international cooperation in teaching sustainable courses, and learner's attitude. In Japan, the success factors of sustainable education are different. According to experts, the learner's attitude, the presence of green culture in the society, and the support of government institutions related to the environment for this education are three essential success factors for sustainable development education. In India, the presence of green culture in the society, the support of government institutions related to the environment, and the teacher's attitude are the most critical success factors of sustainable education policy. The primary practical policies recommended by this research are promoting international cooperation, using electronic education capacities, and increasing green awareness through the media and social networks.
