Sustainable Development and its Education

Sustainable Education is very important to achieve what the whole world is aiming at…clean environment, population stability, food for all, less pollution and optimum utilisation of natural resources. Sustainable Lifestyle is understanding our responsibility towards our nature, meaning we should use our resources optimally thereby making them available for us, our fellow human beings and our future generations. We are in a state of emergency where we are left with very little resources to make use of properly. If we don’t take action now then our resources will cease to exist and our future generations will be devoid of witnessing the beauty of our magnificent nature and planet.

For Sustainable Development to be implemented and be successful its education is very important. For people to understand its value they need to be taught about its need. Education for Sustainable Development helps us here.

The main goal of ESD is to enable people to make decisions, carry out actions to improve the quality of life without destructing our nature and its resources. Thus in order to have success in the ESD target there is a need to identify importance of policy support, education, youth and local communities.
