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

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
