Education for Sustainable Development
February 6, 2006
Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.
-Roger Miller
The United Nations has decreed 2005 - 2014 as the Decade for Education for Sustainable Development. In the announcing this campaign, the UN declared...

"There can be few more pressing and critical goals for the future of humankind than to ensure steady improvement in the quality of life for this and future generations, in a way that respects our common heritage �" the planet we live on. As people we seek positive change for ourselves, our children, and grandchildren; we must do it in ways that respect the right of all to do so. To do this we must learn constantly �" about ourselves, our potential, our limitations, our relationships, our society, our environment, our world. Education for sustainable development is a life-wide and lifelong endeavour which challenges individuals, institutions, and societies to view tomorrow as a day that belongs to all of us, or it will not belong to anyone."

Bernard Combes from UNESCO has notified the World Forum Foundation that our Working Forum on Nature Education for Young Children is "perfectly in line with the objectives and goals of the United Nations' Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014)." We appreciate the support from UNESCO and the publicity they are providing for the Working Forum.
