摘要：This article describes a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) network set up to facilitate the way in which teachers are able to deliver sustainable development education. The article focuses on both the short- and long-term ‘joined-up thinking’ approach adopted by UNESCO to support the teaching of such important issues. The network itself is making use of the goals and descriptions of education in relation to sustainable development concepts across many countries, as used in Agenda 21, namely: improving basic education, re-orientating existing education and raising public awareness, understanding and training.
