Education for Sustainable Development

The consultation hour is part of a broader initiative that has been pursued in Berlin for many years. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a key approach to achieving the global sustainability goals, which are becoming increasingly urgent. These educational approaches aim to empower people of all ages to develop sustainable lifestyles and take responsibility. The National Action Plan highlights ESD as a key strategy to strengthen knowledge, attitudes and attitudes necessary for dealing with nature and the environment.

Historically, many projects of the Berlin environmental administration were launched under the term environmental education in the 1990s. These initiatives aim to promote awareness of shared responsibility towards nature, fellow human beings, future generations and the planet. In order to give these approaches even stronger coordination, district coordination offices for education on nature, environment, climate and sustainability have been established in recent years, as reported by berlin.de.

The Education Master Plan for Sustainable Development is currently being developed in Berlin on a participatory basis. In all of these efforts, the focus is on promoting environmental awareness and sustainable thinking - aspects that can also be discussed in the upcoming consultation hours.
