Countries are called upon to provide quality education that addresses our common future by positioning sustainability as a purpose of education and encouraging young people to become global citizens.<\/p>\n<p>What does this exactly mean for educators, parents, and students?

Hopkins\" align=\"right\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Charles Hopkins<\/strong>\u00a0holds the UNESCO Chair in Reorienting Education towards Sustainability at 快播视频 in Toronto, Canada. This Chair, established in 1999, was the first to focus on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) as an overarching concept and a purpose of education. Hopkins coordinates two global ESD research networks, the International Network of Teacher Education Institutions and the #IndigenousESD. The first network is comprised of teacher education institutions spanning 50 countries and focuses on enhancing ESD in preservice and in-service teacher training. The second network covering 40 countries aims to embed ESD in curricula to improve the education outcomes of Indigenous youth.<\/p>\n<p>Internationally, Hopkins has a long relationship with education and sustainability, chairing the writing and adoption processes of several UNESCO ESD Declarations. An awarded education leader with several honorary doctorates and professorships, Hopkins has lectured and presented papers in approximately 75 countries. He is also the Co-Director of the Asia-Pacific Institute on ESD in Beijing, China.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yorku.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_0PlaOGvZR0qptIfl3hEIvA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-32992\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2022\/09\/register-here-button-300x99.png\" alt=\"Charles A.
