Sustainable Development Goals for Children
26-04-2022
Sustainable Development Goals in Education has the goal of empowering students of all ages with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to address the interconnected global challenges we face, including climate change, environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, poverty and inequality. Because the world faces ever more complex and challenging challenges, from developing a cure for covid-19 to tackling global climate change or making sure we have enough water, food and energy for our planet. Solutions to these problems are not found in textbooks or multiple-choice tests. Society needs problem solvers who can tackle such 'difficult problems' in creative and innovative ways and do this within a multidisciplinary team. Many children and young people lead lives of despair, dissatisfaction and apathy, devoid of hope. The Sustainable Development Goals in Education represent a way to change this and offer children and young people not only hope but also the tools to transform their lives and communities. To achieve the goals set out in the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Climate Agreement, we must encourage students to peace and cooperation, and equip them with knowledge, skills and values to raise awareness on issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss and large-scale pollution.
