Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) empowers people to change the way they think and work towards a sustainable future.
ESD is grounded in principles of social justice, equity and a respect for human rights and seeks to foster engaged and active citizens, of all ages, motivated to take action towards a sustainable future.
