Foreword The challenges posed by climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation have becomedefining issues of our time. These crises are global in scope, affecting all regions of the planet, withimpactsfelt across all sectors of society. Facing these daunting challenges requires rethinking how we engage withthe environment and, more deeply, how human systems in general operate. At the heart of this transformative effort is education. Educationhas the capacity to reshape our understanding of the world around us. It enables individuals tograsp the complexities of environmental systems, understand the interconnectedness of ecological, social,and economic factors, and ultimately take informed andresponsible action. As this report outlines,education—both formal and informal—plays a crucial role in cultivating the awareness, knowledge, andskills needed to address the environmental challenges we face. This report highlights how education and training policies can foster individual and collective agency,influence socio-behavioural change, and build skills that empower individuals, communities, and nationsto engage in sustainable practices.It provides actionable insights and recommendations on how toincorporate sustainability into educationand skills policiesinaway thatempowerslearnersat different lifestagesto contributeindividually and collectivelytoa more sustainable future.
