  • How does a strong program link to the UN Sustainable Development Goals? 
  •  What needs to be in place to ensure that people of all ages have opportunities to develop the awareness, knowledge, skills, and motivations to tackle the environmental and social issues we face as a global society? 
  • What is the status of environmental education in your country or region?
