Promoting sustainable development has emerged as a key priority to transition societies towards more responsible growth that serves both people and the planet. Education can play a pivotal role in driving this sustainability transformation. Integrating sustainable development into education will nurture new generations of sustainability leaders and empower all students with the awareness, knowledge, and skills to advance economic, social, and environmental wellbeing in their decisions and actions.
