The environmental and social emergency makes necessary the transition to new models of sustainable development. Both the UN Agenda 2030 and the new generation of EU policies drive in this direction.
Education is pivotal for new generations and future leaders, highlighting the need for updated education modules and models, providing connections between the educational offer and the current environmental and social phenomena, increasing contamination between fields and engaging a wide-range of stakeholders from academia, the private sector, public agencies and more.
UNIMED is engaged in many initiatives and projects featuring Universities and other local, regional and international actors to contribute and to help the shift towards an Education for Sustainable Development according to the UNESCO principles.
