WERNER FAYMANN, THE FEDERAL CHANCELLOR OF AUSTRIA The UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development places new methods of teaching and learning at the heart of global policy agendas. It is only possible to combat and reverse non-sustainable trends through widespread change in the awareness of our children, the general public and the main stakeholder groups, including the economic sector. Education for sustainable development (ESD) seeks to support people of all walks of life in planning their future, reflecting on the consequences of their individual actions and finding possible solutions to boost positive transformation. It strengthens their decision-making competence and responsibility as a precondition for social change. Furthermore, it follows the cognitive as well as the affective learning goals that are of particular value for promoting a humanistic perspective of all people in the educational and non-educational contexts. Austria has been at the forefront of efforts to create the political conditions for making ESD a central issue in the broader education debate. The national strategy for ESD, adopted in 2008, gave rise to a number of highly regarded initiatives. We continue to explore new areas and work on innovative measures to inspire new commitments. The UNESCO publication <strong>Tomorrow</strong> Today helps to nurture an international spirit of knowledge exchange for increasing collective intelligence to advance a holistic, interdisciplinary and quality education. It creates a global strategic landscape that private and public policymakers can use to improve their decision making and understanding. Therefore, I would like to express my appreciation to all whose efforts are behind this publication. Werner Faymann The Federal Chancellor of Austria [ 7 ]
THE HONOURABLE DIANE MCGIFFORD, CHAIR, COUNCIL OF MINISTERS OF EDUCATION, CANADA Education and training play a major role in the endeavour to create a sustainable society. Globally, we are facing critical environmental, social and economic challenges, which require new ways of thinking and acting. We need to prepare our students by educating them in the basics of sustainable development and preparing them to take their places as environmentally, socially and economically literate citizens, consumers, workers and leaders. In Canada, the Council for Ministers of Education Canada, local governments and community organizations, stakeholders from many sectors, and many non-governmental organizations are actively promoting and supporting education for sustainable development (ESD). Provincial and territorial departments of education, universities and colleges including faculties of education, and schools across Canada are incorporating ESD into existing courses, curricula and programming, as well as developing new courses, curricula and learning resources. Moreover, much of this work is being done with partners from outside the formal education sector. We believe that ESD is setting a direction for education and learning that is based on values, principles and practices that are necessary to respond effectively to current and future challenges.
