Education for Sustainable Development: Towards achieving the SDGs (ESD for 2030) is the global framework for implementation of ESD from 2020-2030. ESD for 2030 builds upon the lessons learned from the Global Action Programme on ESD (GAP, 2015-2019), in response to the increased importance placed on ESD to promote the contribution of learning content to the survival and prosperity of humanity. ESD for 2030 places emphasis on education’s contribution to the achievement of the SDGs. It aims to review the purposes and values that underpin education and reorient all levels of education and learning to contribute to sustainable development and to strengthen education and learning in all activities that promote sustainable development. Given the fact there is very little time left to achieve the SDGs, it is crucial to accelerate ESD in the decade of action4 to deliver the Goals. As the follow up to the GAP, ESD for 2030 was approved by the UNESCO General Conference at its 40th Session and acknowledged by the UN General Assembly at its 74th Session in 2019.
