UNESCO, in collaboration with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) is organising the event ‘Young ESD Leaders Capacity Building Training Workshop’. The comprehensive programme is designed for young people aged 18-35 who are active leaders in sustainable development in their communities and regions.

The ´Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Leadership Training´ is a project of the Global Action Programme on ESD. As a follow-up to the UN Decade on ESD (2005-2014), UNESCO launched the Global Action Programme on ESD (GAP). The GAP has five Action Areas, one of which is dedicated to mobilizing and engaging youth who are recognized to be integral to the success of the GAP.

Objectives

  2. Build a youth-led ESD network for exchange and collaboration
