A key reference work on the nature, scope and purpose of educating for sustainable development, today and for the years to come.

It is a collection of proceedings from a seminar organized jointly by UNESCO and the South African Ministry of Education during the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg. It features the contributions of a wide range of education specialists, including representatives of civil society, higher education institutions, non-governmental institutions, private companies, United Nations agencies, Ministers of Education and Heads of State.
