Education for sustainable development
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) was a United Nations program that defined as education that encourages changes in knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to enable a more sustainable and just society for all[1]. ESD aims to empower and equip current and future generations to meet their needs using a balanced and integrated approach to the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. ESD is the term most used internationally and by the United Nations.[2] Agenda 21 was the first international document that identified education as an essential tool for achieving sustainable development and highlighted areas of action for education[3][4].
