The UNESCO World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) will be co-organised in 2014 by UNESCO and the Government of Japan on the occasion of the end of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development. It has the following objectives: (1) Celebrating a decade of action; (2) Reorienting education to build a better future for all; (3) Accelerating action for sustainable development; and (4) Setting the agenda for ESD beyond 2014. ESD must continue after 2014. It is hoped that the World Conference will ensure that it will.
