Fostering sustainability through scientific literacy

Abstract Humanity is facing unprecedented sustainability challenges, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising social inequalities. Addressing these complex issues requires not only scientific and technological innovations but also a scientifically literate society capable of making informed decisions. Scientific literacy goes beyond rote knowledge; it involves the ability to critically evaluate information, interpret evidence, and apply knowledge to real-world contexts (National Research Council [NRC], 2006). This paper examines the contribution of scientific literacy to foster sustainability through the four pillars of sustainable development: environmental, economic, social, and human. Evidence suggests that scientific literacy strengthens individuals’ capacity to adopt sustainable practices, engage in democratic decision-making, and reduce vulnerability to misinformation (UNESCO, 2021). Furthermore, it is directly linked to the achievement of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), influencing areas such as food security, health, renewable energy, responsible consumption, and climate action (OECD, 2017). The analysis highlights that scientific literacy is not only an educational objective but also a societal imperative that empowers communities, reduces inequalities, and supports global partnerships. By integrating sustainability themes into education and public discourse, scientific literacy serves as a pathway toward building inclusive, resilient, and sustainable futures for all.
Keywords Scientific literacy, sustainability, sustainable development goals, Education, resilience
