Book Description
The COVID-19 pandemic is a global crisis which has demonstrated how interconnected societies, human systems, and environmental systems are. It is an example of a sustainability challenge of responding to a crisis and preparing for the aftermath of such and future crises. This report focuses on one human system - that of education, and the changes and potential role Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) did or could have made. The report analyses challenges and opportunities created by the pandemic taking into account, where possible, the EU economy twin transition - digital and green, as well as other relevant EU initiatives and policies. Other considerations were global initiatives such as the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and the UNESCO 2020-2030 Strategic Objectives for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).
