Education for Sustainable Development is recognized as an integral element of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on quality education and a key enabler of all other SDGs. Education is the lynchpin of our sustainable development agenda. It needs to be incorporated into all levels of education right from pre-primary and primary to university level as well as diverse professions. Its success relies on individuals, throughout their lifetime, acquiring relevant knowledge and developing positive attitudes to address global challenges.
The key work of the network focuses on enabling learners of all ages with the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes to address the interconnected global challenges we are facing, including climate change, environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, poverty, and inequality through operationalizing Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Through its ESD leadership Program and a wide range of teaching-learning materials that have been developed by the network members over a period of ten years, it aims to make education transformative and prepare students and learners of all ages to find solutions for the challenges of today and the future.
The Institute of Environment Education and Research, Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University has been a key member of the ESD ExpertNet since its inception in 2010 and currently coordinates all activities of the ESD ExpertNet India group along with the members.
