United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (UNDESD)

The United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (UNDESD), from 2005 to 2014, was a global initiative emphasizing the importance of integrating sustainable development into education. It aimed to equip learners of all ages with knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes needed to create a more sustainable and equitable world. By promoting awareness and understanding of environmental, social, and economic challenges, UNDESD fostered responsible decision-making and behaviors. Ultimately, it sought to empower individuals and communities to contribute actively to sustainable development goals and shape a better future for generations to come.
