Education, Learning and the SDGs
Education, Learning and the SDGs Today’s interconnected global challenges demand responses that are rooted in the spirit of our collective humanity. I believe that the risks and opportunities we face call for a paradigm shift that can only be embedded in our societies through education and learning. Irina Bokova Director-General of UNESCO 2014 UNESCO Roadmap for implementing Global Action Programme on ESD http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0023/002305/230514e.pdf
United Nations: Sustainable Development Goals SDG goal 4.7 By 2030, ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development Image © copyright
Scotland and the United Nations SDGs ‘These SDGS form a vision for the world that I believe the people of Scotland share … Unlike their forerunner - the Millennium Development Goals - these goals will not be restricted to the developing countries – instead they will be universal, applying to all countries. And that is why I am delighted to confirm that Scotland has become one of the very first countries to publicly sign up to these goals …’ Scottish Government July 2015
