In this chapter, the authors focus on ways to integrate the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into ECEfS. They do this by showcasing a range of pedagogies and practices, paying particular attention to the social-political dimensions of sustainability, illustrating that sustainability is so much more than attention to environmental topics. In this discussion, the authors discuss the power of listening to children, the pivotal role of child participation in EfS and the strength of critical reflection in creating change. They then utilise two stories from the field. The first comes from a kindergarten context in Queensland, Australia, and unpacks pedagogies of intentional listening and ‘yarning’ with children to support their sense of belonging in their kindergarten community. The second story comes from a 3- and 4-year-old kindergarten, bush kinder and integrated childcare centre in Victoria, Australia. It describes strategies for building fairness and inclusion through the centre’s ‘everyone can play’ philosophy.

BHR is a fast-evolving interdisciplinary field and naturally its focus expands over time and new subdiscussions start to emerge. Such new discussions often appear at the intersection between BHR and other fields. This chapter briefly outlines four selected emerging discussions within the BHR field, namely: the intersection between BHR and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the relevance of climate change for BHR, gender perspectives on BHR, and BHR in post-conflict and transitional justice contexts.

Maria Panezi explains in Chapter 9 that Indigenous peoples are frequently included in social procurement programs as part of government efforts to correct past injustices and offer assistance towards a better economic future. Both the empowering and the redistributive outcomes of government procurement are equally important for Indigenous peoples and should be immediate priorities of governments that need to advance economic equity. There have been efforts to create a robust procurement regime for Indigenous peoples in various national contexts, especially in Canada, the US, Australia and New Zealand. These programs are works in progress and need to be both supported and evaluated continuously to allow for adaptation. This chapter serves as necessary background for the re-evaluation of transnational (local, provincial, regional, federal and cross-border) procurement policies for Indigenous businesses and service providers.
