The 40th UNESCO General Conference (12-27 November 2019) adopted the new global framework on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD for 2030) for the period of 2020-2030.
ESD for 2030 aims to build a more just and sustainable world through strengthening ESD and contributing to the achievement of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The framework will focus on integrating ESD and the 17 SDGs into policies, learning environments, capacity building of educators, empowerment and mobilization of youth, and local level action.
