In order to achieve a more sustainable society, action is needed. To do so, understanding the environment around us is essential. Thus, I believe that the education plays a key role in the sustainable development. People cannot take action on their own scale without knowing the issues of the climate crisis and the world we live in.
Indeed, youth and its education should be given the utmost importance.
I couldn’t agree more with you. The education is playing a crucial role for the sustainable development !!!
Great article, I think there should be more talk about the economic, social and political relationship between the Global North and Global South to fully understand “sustainable development” and the best way forward.
