Shaping the Future We Want

UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014)

Background

This Report is now available online. Challenges the world is facing today include deep economic and social inequalities, environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, disruption caused by natural disasters and climate change. Higher education can – and must – play a decisive role in providing learners across the world with the knowledge, competences and values to discover solutions to today’s sustainability challenges. This carries benefit for present and future generations.  The Report provides excellent food for thought for both the present and the future and was launched and presented at the UNESCO World Conference on ESD.
