  • Wellington New Zealand (map)

With SDG 4.7 calling for all learners to acquire the knowledge and skills to promote sustainable development, the aim of the “Putting education for the SDGs into practice for Higher Education” forum is to share how higher education institutions in our region are progressing towards putting this ambitious goal into practice, and to inspire and support the sector to accelerate action.

This session will showcase examples of how Higher Ed institutions are integrating education for the SDGs, including ESD and “green skills”, into disciplinary programs and degrees, to ensure graduates and professionals have the knowledge and skills they need to help our region transition to a sustainable economy and society.
