Digitally-Enabled Green Adult Education in the Public Sector
Abstract
The intersection of digital transformation and green adult education presents a vital opportunity for public sector institutions to advance sustainability goals while modernizing lifelong learning services. This chapter explores how digital tools can be leveraged to design and deliver adult education programs focused on developing green competencies, particularly within public organizations and public-facing education services. Drawing on theoretical frameworks such as transformative learning theory and sustainability competency models, the chapter examines case studies, policy initiatives, and institutional practices that integrate digital innovation with environmental education. By focusing on the public sector, the chapter investigates the role of government agencies, employment services, and local authorities in leading green transitions through inclusive, scalable, and accessible digital education for adults.
