Abstract
Education for Sustainable development (ESD) has long been socialized by the government to be developed and implemented in education, but currently its implementation has not been implemented optimally. ESD is an education that makes learners aware of their environmental life in creating a sustainable future without sacrificing future generations. Indonesia is a country that actively engages in national development from various sectors. This development will have a positive or negative impact. The positive impact is that development in Indonesia is quite good, it can be seen from the sectors of economy, education, infrastructure, and so on. However, the negative came to the Environmental sector. This is where the concept of sustainable development needs to be studied and applied to schools. The purpose of this paper is to know the mathematical competence relevant to the ESD component in the geometry at junior high school. Mathematical competencies relevant to ESD are; understanding, problem solving, critical thinking, reflective thinking and mathematical communication.
