When one thinks about sustainability, the environment and the green part of the planet is usually the first thing that comes to mind. That’s not wrong. In fact our planet needs to be cared and therefore, the concern for environmental issues is very important.
But being “green” is just not good enough. That’s the main reason why there are 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the United Nations 2030 Agenda, and not just one.
According to UNESCO, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a key element of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
We also believe that ESD empowers students to make informed decisions about environmental issue, economic viability and a fair society for future generations. It urges to adopt more sustainable practices and we all need to do it now. Sustainable development must become part of our values and corporate culture.
Aims
