Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in Germany: Building a Bridge to Nagoya

The UN Decade for Education for Sustainable Development (DESD) was instrumental in ensuring the inclusion of sustainability as a key value into educational strategies in German educational provision inside and outside the formal system. A broad coalition of players, including government officials from federal to community level, civil society organisations, the private sector and the media managed to sensitize decision-makers, researchers, activists and practitioners to put the objectives of the DESD into practice, as demonstrated during a national stock-taking conference in Bonn on 29–30 September 2014.
