The aim of this article is to present selected German solutions in the field of education for sustainable development and an attempt to assess the possibility of their implementation in Poland. The starting point of the considerations is the conviction that successful social and ecological transformation is only possible through cooperation between nations, business and society, and education. Among other things, the decisions of the Federal Constitutional Court and the position of the German Council for Sustainable Development postulating an innovation policy were presented. The analyses presented led to a conclusion regarding the partial possibility of implementing German solutions in the field of sustainable development in Poland. The specificity of individual countries and societies and the consideration of their characteristic values in the planning of educational activities must not be forgotten.
