When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.

The UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development 2005-2014
What is Development Education (DE)?
Development Education (DE) is concerned with the building of knowledge and understanding, skills and capacities, and attitudes and values necessary to enable individuals to critically examine the world, its development and its interdependencies and to act, both locally and globally, to make it a more just and equitable place.
What is Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)?
Education for sustainable development (ESD) is a “dynamic concept that encompasses a new vision of education that seeks to empower people of all ages to assume responsibility for creating and enjoying a sustainable future.” (Source: UNESCO, Education for Sustainability-from Rio to Johannesburg: Lessons learnt from a Decade of Commitment, 2002)
ESD seeks to foster the values, behaviour and lifestyles for social and environmental change.
In principle, DE and ESD should empower people to take action on the issue being explored (Regan, 1999).
