Foreword IRINA BOKOVA, DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF UNESCO Education for sustainable development is born out of a very simple idea: reaching sustainability will require more than legal frameworks, financial resources and green technologies, it also needs us to change the way we think – change that can best be obtained through education. The international community first recognized the role of education in achieving sustainable development in 1992, when participants at the Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro adopted Agenda 21, Chapter 36 of which is devoted to promoting public awareness and training. Since then, these policy ideas have taken shape, and educators around the world are seeking to ensure that their teaching incorporates the principles and values of sustainability. As the United Nations agency with a mandate for education, UNESCO is uniquely placed to support countries to promote sustainable development through formal and non-formal learning. As leader of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD, 2005-2014), proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 2003, the Organization facilitates partnerships with a wide range of players, including youth and media groups; fosters research and the sharing of information and good practices; and provides a framework for monitoring and evaluation. It has also convened major events such as the 2009 UNESCO World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development held in Bonn, Germany. The publication Tomorrow Today, which is being produced in time for the presentation of the DESD mid-Decade report to the UN General Assembly in November 2010, sets out the opportunities and emerging challenges in the area of sustainable development, and identifies innovative means for addressing them. The diverse voices in this book clearly demonstrate that reorienting our education systems in line with the principles of sustainable development is essential for helping learners to understand and act upon such threats as climate change, poverty, food scarcity and the loss of biodiversity. Building the sustainable world of tomorrow requires concrete action today. This book provides some answers as to how, through education, we can prepare a better future for all. I thank our partner Tudor Rose and all the contributors who have made Tomorrow Today possible. Image: © UNESCO/Michel Ravassard Irina Bokova Director-General of UNESCO [ 4 ]
