In order to further enhance efforts on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), UNESCO launches the new framework 'Education for Sustainable Development: Towards achieving the SDGs' (ESD for 2030) and its roadmap for implementation at a major two and a half day conference. The conference will take place in Berlin from 2-4 June 2018 and is kindly hosted and generously supported by the Government of Germany. Our planet and its inhabitants are under increasing pressure: Human-induced climate change, limited and recklessly exploited resources, rising temperatures and sea levels, pollution and shrinking biodiversity are just a few of the challenges governments and populations face around the world.

 

In response to these challenges, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) supports efforts to equip learners with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed to contribute to a more inclusive, just, peaceful and sustainable world.

The new framework ESD for 2030 (2020-2030) builds on the Global Action Programme on ESD (2015 – 2019), which followed the UN Decade on ESD (2005-2014) and will focus on streamlining ESD with Agenda 2030 to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals within the next ten years.
