EDUCATION FOR
SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT

In our world we need a clear awareness of the
interdependent nature of nations, of humans,
animals and the world. Everything is of
interdependent nature. I feel that many problems,
especially man-made problems, are due to a lack of
knowledge about the interdependent nature.
- His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, 1998

It is absolutely essential to change the way we think.
All other attempts at change will fail if we do not
transform our thinking. A proper understanding of
the way the world requires people to think
systematically, holistically, interrogatively, and in
futures mode.
-Lester Milbraith, 1969
EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
A tool for global citizens who want sustainable
future
An active and expanding field of educational
innovation
Sustaining mans capacity for future change

Without a doubt, the road towards sustainable
development is no single route. Furthermore, it is
coherent that understandings and visions for
sustainability will be different for each of us and
that we will need to work together to negotiate
the process of achieving sustainability.
- UNESCO, 2005
