Given the global challenges facing future generations, policymakers have a responsibility to design national education systems so that children can properly prepare for their future. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) ensures that students of all ages are equipped with the values, knowledge, attitudes and skills they will need in tomorrow's world.
The purpose of this guide is to provide education policy makers, implementers and researchers with a detailed, practical and evidence-based methodology for integrating ESD into national education strategies and curricula. For example, the guide provides a toolkit for, among other things, designing an ESD curriculum framework, policy and curriculum analysis, innovative lesson design, detailed evaluation and a roadmap for efficiently and quickly scaling up ESD in the national education system.
