In the context of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, global citizenship and sustainability are spotlighted through SDG Target 4.7, which underscores the importance of harmonising cultural and biological diversity.

In this light, Issue 63 of SangSaeng delves into Ecocentrism—a perspective advocating for the ethical treatment of all beings and recognising their intrinsic value—alongside Global Citizenship Education (GCED).
