In 2019 UNESCO published a framework for the implementation of education for sustainable development stating, ESD in action is basically citizenship in action. It evokes the lifelong learning perspective, taking place not only at school, but also outside the school environment, throughout the life of each individual………..ESD in action requires a new perspective on the roles and functions of schools.
The Education for Sustainable Development Roadmap was published in 2020. It defines 5 priority areas for member states to support and implement ESD. They are urged to:
1 integrate ESD in global, regional, national and local policies related to education and sustainable development.
2 promote whole-institution approaches to ESD
3 help educators develop the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed for the transition to sustainability.
4 recognize and engage young people as key actors in addressing sustainability challenges
5 engage communities as they are where meaningful transformative actions are most likely to occur.
The report argues that ESD aims to do three things:
1 raises the awareness of the 17 goals in education settings:
2 promote critical and contextualized understanding of the SDGs
3 mobilize action towards the achievement of the SDGs
Yesterday there was a debate in the UK parliment about embedding ESD in the English National Curriculum. Here is Lord Jim Knight leading a debate in the House of Lords.
