Education For Sustainable Development
Education For Sustainable Development
Education For Sustainable Development ESD is one of the key building blocks for the Green Growth Strategic Framework and a crucial means of disseminating the green growth agenda within the circle of the school, the home, universities, influence and leadership. The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow. With early and expanding knowledge of green growth, its impact and necessity for a better future, youths are our most important and valuable advocates. Embedding Green Growth principles, actions and lifestyle into the lives of the populace requires a multi-partner effort. GGAF is strongly committed to ensuring that the Green Growth knowledge and awareness is transferred smoothly from teacher to student, from student to family and friends, from employee to organisation and onwards to government.
