Kurzinfo:

Our planet is ever more interconnected, miniaturized, and fragile. With the increase in desertification, rising sea levels, erratic weather patterns and climate change, sustainable education becomes an exceedingly important priority the world over. Furthermore, in the age of the ″globalization of indifference,″ as Pope Francis has taught us, the environment we share becomes a powerful point of entry for educating all children and youth to become engaged, ethical, and competent stewards of a finite and frail world. With the alarming rate of environmental degradation and climate change the right to a sustainable environment is urgently becoming the human rights imperative of our times. As the law of disproportionality makes clear, it is the poor, the weak, immigrants & refugees; and the outcastes that are most vulnerable to both cataclysmic man-made environmental disasters and the slow and steady deterioration of environment qualities (i.e., air quality, water quality, and the like).
