The study analyses the development of blended learning environments in China, and some challenges that China faces in sustainable development. Based on the analysis results, the study revealed that a blended learning environment could promote adult education development, reduce the development inequality between genders and geographically, as well as protect natural environments. A survey to adult learners verifies the aforementioned conclusion. Adult learners believe that a blended learning environment is an eco-friendly learning environment; it increases the opportunities for females and those living in rural areas to become educated and promotes their sustainable development. The research results may be beneficial for education policy makers and practitioners interested in sustainable development.  \nKeywords: sustainable development, equality development, adult education, China  \nHow a blended learning environment in adult education promotes sustainable development in China 481  \nIntroduction  \nTerms such as ‘sustainable development’ and ‘sustainability’ attracted more and more attention after the Brundtland Commission delivered its report entitled Our common future. Sustainable development aims to promote current development as well as preserving resources for long-term growth (Kuhn & Deetz, 2008), which are usually defined as‘development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’(World Commission on Environment and Sustainable Development, 1987) . The early part of this decade saw increased political will in promoting sustainable development. The Millennium Development Goals (United Nations, 2000) set a broad mandate for international development between the years of 2000 to 2015. It added political impetus to the argument that there cannot be sustainable progress towards the achievement of development goals without active and critically aware citizens. From the legacy of the Millennium Development Goals, the 2030 agenda (also known as Transforming our world: The 2030 agenda for sustainable development) emerged. It takes effect as ‘a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity’, which aims to ‘free the human race from the tyranny of poverty and to heal and secure our planet’(United Nations, 2015) . It has extended sustainable development out into a broader meaning, incorporating economic, environmental, social, and educational sustainability, including equitable development for every nation and every person (Bai & Sarkis, 2014; Fergus & Rowney, 2005). A total of 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 associated targets were set up for the 2030 agenda for the international community to reach in the next 15 years (United Nations, 2015) . This aforementioned opinion of sustainable development is widely accepted and shared by specialists and institutions (Max-Neef, 2011; United Nations, 2017) .  \nChina is one of the active countries in the field of promoting sustainable development, both historically and contemporarily. One of the key components of traditional Chinese civilisation is to maintain harmony (Chinese word ‘he’) between human beings and nature (ecological sustainability), and between human and human (social and economic sustainability) (Chan, Choy & Lee, 2009). The Chinese government has been participating actively in international conferences on the matter  \n482 Chunlin Yao  \nof sustainable development, such as the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (the Stockholm Conference), the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (the Rio Conferen","cbCaifwVLayKRG8M","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifwVLayKRG8M","pdf",337713,23,"English","# Introduction\n## Sustainable development frameworks and international agendas\n## China’s policies and education strategy\n## Lifelong learning society and adult education\n## Research aims and methods\n## Findings and implications","[{\"question\":\"What research method is used to examine blended learning in adult education?\",\"answer\":\"The study adopts a semi-structured survey to examine the effects of a blended learning environment in adult education on promoting sustainable development.\"},{\"question\":\"How does blended learning relate to sustainable development in the study’s results?\",\"answer\":\"The study finds that a blended learning environment can promote adult education development, reduce gender and geographical inequality, and protect natural environments.\"},{\"question\":\"Who benefits from blended learning according to adult learner survey responses?\",\"answer\":\"Adult learners believe blended learning is eco-friendly and increases opportunities for females and people living in rural areas, supporting their sustainable development.\"}]","Australian Journal of Adult Learning - Volume 58 - Issue 3 | PDF",1792074932,58]
