By Franklin Kimbimbi - European Trade Union Institute, October 2023

Crucial to enabling individuals to confront new challenges, education thus plays a vital role in achieving sustainable development. It provides people with the necessary knowledge, values, and attitudes to address emerging and key sustainability development issues such as climate change, sustainable consumption and production, preservation of biodiversity or poverty reduction.
