Abstract	In alignment with the theme of the conference "Towards the Next Epoch of Education," this paper brings attention to the need to strengthen focus on sustainable development in academic activities. As evident in scholarly literature, universities worldwide began to embrace Sustainable Development Goals initiated by the United Nations 2030 Agenda. Regardless their commitment, it is evident that many countries, especially developing ones struggle to effectively implement sustainable principles and practices in academia. This qualitative study brings attention to challenges associated with implementation of Education for Sustainable Development as well as suggestions how to promote ESD within teacher training and professional development of educators. The study is grounded in international literature review; however, findings come from the developing world where the authors are located. The results indicate the need to transfer sustainability-related pedagogical knowledge and competencies to educators and prospective teachers. In addition, in order to strengthen sustainable development, higher education institutions need to adapt a holistic approach and implement sustainability principles, knowledge, and practices within all academic activities.
