Abstract	This contribution is intended as an introductory report on the contributions from Germany, China, and the USA. It presents a project that has the objective of generating a model for teacher training. A further intent is to stimulate suggestions for continuing development of the project. Even though "Sustainable Development" is not offered as a separate subject, its concepts - like those of environmental education - are included in various other subjects; consequently a separate module is to be generated to illustrate the complexity of objectives and, above all, their contextual intertwining. The intent is to convey competencies to (tomorrow's) teachers that enable them to prepare students for a world in which factors such as globalization impart a new significance to sustainable development, because the so-called "developing countries" now require resources to an increasing extent themselves. Sustainable development links the conservatory intent of environmental education to the element of development in economics and society. Decisive criteria for successfully facing the future include not only more effective utilization of resources but primarily channeling human intelligence into innovation. Initially topics were selected that we feel have a global significance: water, waste management, renewable resources, participation, transportation, global warming. Admittedly, there are numerous additional topics. Despite a formally global perspective, approaches taken to date in education for sustainable development typically rely too heavily on one's own values. The perspectives of other countries must now be included. Thus specialists in Geograpic Education from Germany, the USA, and China are working together, each presenting their own perspective. Initial results indicate that there are numerous shared objectives, however great differences in implementation. (Orig.).
