Abstract: Abstract The provision of educational and economic services is a major contributor to the climate crisis, and the economic sector is the largest contributor to carbon emissions in the public sector in Indonesia. Teachers and entrepreneurs have an important role in fighting climate change through educational service practices and business practices. This involves maintaining the quality of current and future educational services and business practices through balancing environmental, social, cultural, ethical and financial constraints. To achieve this goal, integrating these sustainability skills into economics education is essential. A small number of economics programs have incorporated planetary health and sustainability theory into their curriculum, and there are no formal sustainability curriculum in undergraduate or postgraduate education and training. This is important to enable teachers and entrepreneurs to define sustainability theory taught at undergraduate or postgraduate level. This article proposes which topics should be included in sustainability curriculum and explores various methods that can be used to incorporate these topics into current educational frameworks.
