Recent literature on ESD lists a number of competences for ESD in various fields with the exception of teacher education. A competence model for ESD for educators was generated in the Austrian research project KOM-BiNE (Competences for ESD in Teacher Education)as part of a large-scale EU project. The KOM-BiNE competence model consists of areas of competences within fields of action. The constituent elements of the competence model are described in detail and are illustrated with examples. %K Education for sustainable development %K Competency model %K Teacher education %U http://www.cepsj.si/pdfs/cepsj_3_1/cepsj_3_1_pp9-24-Rauch%20et%20al.pdf
