The article presents the concept of a methodological guide for Kazakh teachers, developed based on Japanese approaches to teaching sustainable development (SD). The issue of the Aral Sea, reflecting both global and local aspects of environmental disasters, is considered as a key example for teaching. The author emphasizes the integration of Japanese experience into Kazakhstan's educational process, including practice-oriented methods, an interdisci plinary approach, and student engagement in solving environmental problems. The article proposes the structure of the methodological guide, which includes theoretical materials, lesson plans, practical assignments, and project-based activities adapted to local conditions. The presented concept aims to develop students' critical thinking skills, ecological responsibility, and readiness to address sustainable development challenges. This approach is significant for Kazakhstan's educational practice and aligns with international standards.
