Sustainable development became a mainstream global agenda with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), agreed on by national governments and the international community. The agenda to follow 2015 to 2030 strives for a more sustainable, inclusive world.
This talk captures the innovations in the concepts and themes of the SDGs compared to previous global agendas. Five years into the signing of the SDGs, the talk will critically analyze what processes have been put in place at the global and national levels and the key challenges to realizing these goals. A particular highlight will be placed on the conceptualized contributions around education's role in achieving all sustainable development outcomes and where we find ourselves today.
