Global Action Programme on Education for Sustainable Development

The Global Action Programme on Education for Sustainable Development (GAP on ESD) is an international initiative that promotes integrating sustainable development principles into education worldwide. Its goal is to equip learners of all ages with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to address global challenges like climate change, inequality, and resource conservation. Through supporting policies, teacher training, curriculum development, and awareness campaigns, the GAP aims to transform education systems so that they foster responsible, informed citizens capable of creating a sustainable future. It builds on the United Nations' commitment to make sustainable development a core part of education worldwide.
