Why Sustainability in Education Matters
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a well-established framework for achieving sustainability.
In the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Education is explicitly formulated as a stand-alone goal (SDG 4: Quality Education), but it’s also a means for achieving all the other Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore, Education represents a critical strategy in the pursuit of the 2030 agenda
