Welcome

ESD Alberta is one of 13 working groups of ESD Canada  

As part of the United Nations Decade for Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014) we have followed the UN definition for education for sustainable development (ESD).

Education for sustainable development is about learning to:

- respect, value and preserve the achievements of the past;
- appreciate the wonders and the peoples of the Earth;
- live in a world where all people have sufficient food for a healthy and productive life;
- assess, care for and restore the state of our Planet;
- create and enjoy a better, safer, more just world;

- be caring citizens who exercise their rights and responsibilities locally, nationally and globally.
