Urkunde UN-Dekade Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung 2013/2014
In 2009/2010, 2011/2012 and 2013/2014, Schools@University was awarded the title of "official project of the UN Decade of ESD".
The UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014) sought to mobilize the educational resources of the world to help create a more sustainable future. Many paths to sustainability (e.g. sustainable agriculture and forestry, research and technology transfer, finance, sustainable production and consumption) exist and are mentioned in the 40 chapters of Agenda 21, the official document of the 1992 Earth Summit. Education is one ofthese paths. Education alone cannot achieve a more sustainable future; however, without education and learning for sustainable development, we will not be able to reach that goal.
