In December 2002, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 57/254 to put in place a United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD), spanning from 2005 to 2014. The goal of the DESD is to integrate the principles, values, and practices of sustainable development into all aspects of education and learning. This educational effort will encourage changes in behaviour that will create a more sustainable future in terms of environmental integrity, economic viability, and a just society for present and future generations.
ESD Sourcebook has been prepared in response to challenges of ESD and DESD. It aims to promote ESD activities in the field by providing easily understandable resources for ESD activities. It is a collection of figures, tables, photos and clip arts with a brief note. Users can use individual images alone and/or use them with the notes.
