ESD for FUTURE
Welcome to ESD for FUTURE website!
Recently, unsustainability of the earth is becoming a big problem and the primary reasons are due to severe impacts via climate crisis and loss of biodiversity. In such a situation, the role of Education for Sustainability (ESD) is vital as it can explain the current situation to as many people as possible and help the world in solving the global environmental problems.
ESD can nurture people who can then create a sustainable society, this includes valuing the essence of our earth such as beautiful nature, change of seasons, landscape of rural area, traditional culture, history, arts etc., and important relationship among local community etc.
A mission of ESD FOR FUTURE is to contribute or create a sustainable society, where everyone can live happily by utilizing rich experiences of educational implementation and research at home and abroad.
