Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a priority in response to the growing importance given to education for sustainable development (ESD) to enhance the contribution of learning content to human survival and prosperity.
Accordingly, the concepts of ESD focus on the contribution of education to achieving all seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a focus on Goal 4. This is achieved by reviewing the purposes and values ​​upon which education is based and reorienting all levels of education and learning to contribute to sustainable development and enhance the quality and relevance of learning.

Areas of action to achieve ESD vary, including state policies, available educational environments for both formal and non-formal education, capacity building for teachers and educators, attention to and guidance for youth, and the need for concerted efforts between state institutions and civil society organizations to support and guide the significant individual and societal transformation required to meet pressing sustainability challenges.
