Pacific Islands: Education: Educating for a sustainable future

Education is essential for encouraging people to take responsibility for a “sustainable future”.
Environmental educators have long—since the early 1970s, in fact—recognised the need for a reinvigorated educational approach to transform society.
The World Summit on Sustainable Development (“Rio+10”) in 2002 provided much needed momentum through endorsing the DESD—Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014).
