Sustainable development (SD) is one of the main issues on the agenda of the United Nations due to the environmental, economic and social challenges the world is facing. For a more livable future and planet, the concept of sustainable development is tried to be integrated into every step of education in order to solve the environmental, economic and social problems from the past to the present. There is a need for research on how these concepts, with their environmental, economic and social dimensions, are integrated and should be integrated into curricula. The aim of this study is to investigate the extent to which the Turkish national high school physics curriculum, which has been implemented since 2018, includes the dimensions of SD and to evaluate how compatible the Ministry of National Education physics textbooks are with the educational goals for SD. For this purpose, content analysis method was used. The dimensions of SD were determined as the conceptual framework of the study and the curriculum objectives were coded according to these dimensions. Quotations from the textbooks for the relevant objectives are exemplified according to the sub-categories of these dimensions specified in the Agenda 21 text.
