Including UNESCO Director Director of the Division for Peace and Sustainable Development, Christopher Castle, Dr. Noah Sobe, Professor Leon Tikly, Professor Miki Sugimura, Dr. Helen Kopnina.
Join the SDG Academy for the official side event "ESD and higher education: Reflections on an evolving field."
The side event will serve as a preview for a special issue of the Journal of Education for Sustainable Development. The special issue, representing scholars in 9 countries from over 21 institutions, will present a range of perspectives on ESD, encouraging the ongoing and critical dialogue needed to advance sustainable, inclusive, science- and evidence-based solutions. The special issue ultimately aims to offer suggestions for better pathways forward, in addition to serving as a space for debate related to ESD priorities and plans for implementation, particularly within the framework of the SDGs.
To contribute to the dialogues to unfold, the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), York University, and Columbia University, in partnership with UNESCO, have been invited to facilitate an official virtual side event.
