1 Why discuss sustainable pedagogies?

Teaching sustainability and sustainable pedagogies will be discussed in this section in order to help you identify their commonalities and differences.

In 2015 the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) established a set of 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) and challenged all those concerned with enacting a sustainable future to find ways to meet these goals for the benefit of everyone. Its members pledged to achieve these goals by 2030. As time goes on, the need to act to promote sustainability seems ever more urgent.

To know to know more about these goals watch the UNESCO video below.
