Retos del siglo 21
La importancia de prestar atención urgente al desarrollo sostenible es crítico para el futuro del planeta y su gente. De acuerdo con los científicos, el cambio climático podría amenazar el sustento, generar conflictos, acelerar la pérdida de la biodiversidad, exacerbar los brotes de enfermedades, desestabilizar los sistemas sociales y políticos, causar crisis económica, y aumentar las desigualdades. Los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (SDGs) son 17 objetivos ambiciosos para un planeta más verde, saludable, pacífico y equitativo, acordados por todos los gobiernos, que se alcanzarán para el 2030.
Educación para un mundo mejor
Para cambiar el curso, el mundo necesita más de sus ciudadanos, especialmente de la siguiente generación, para tener el conocimiento, valores, y habilidades para navegar mejor este futuro incierto, hacer frente a sus retos profundos, y construir comunidades más prósperas y resilientes. La investigación muestra que la Educación para el Desarrollo Sostenible (EDS) es una herramienta crucial, que no sólo empodera estudiantes para dar forma a un mundo mejor, sino que también se desempeñan mejor en la escuela.
El rol de las escuelas y los educadores
Más de la mitad de la población de nuestro planeta está por debajo de los 30 años - la mayor generación de personas jóvenes que el mundo haya visto. Esto pone a los educadores en una posición de influencia única para educar a millones de estudiantes a sobrepasar los grandes desafíos del siglo 21 y llevar una vida saludable y productiva, en armonía con la naturaleza.
