Bonn Declaration – A Call for Action
Encourage and enhance scientific excellence, research and new knowledge development for ESD through the involvement of higher education institutions and research networks in ESD. Mobilize the core functions of universities: teaching, research and community engagement to strengthen global and local knowledge of ESD, and utilize the UNESCO ESD Chairs and UNESCO program networks in this process.

Humanities in decline• We are in a major crisis of education.• Nations change educations for economic purposes, humanities
are being cut back. (useful skills for short term profits)• Technology and engineering, applied science, emphasized.• Abilities crucial to democracy and more humane world not
developed.• Old development model emphasizes GDP growth. But mere
pursuit of growth does not necessarily improve other aspects of quality of life.
• Critical thinking (philosophy), history, literature & arts is not very important in the education systems oriented towards economic growth.
• Singapore good example.• Martha C. Nussbaum
![Page 29: “Our biggest challenge in this new century is to take an idea that seems abstract -- sustainable development -- and turn it into a daily reality for all.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d025503460f949d5d7b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Real Bottom Line!“We Need A World We Can Live In”
At the global scale, there is only one bottom line: “Maintenance of the earth’s life support system for humans. If critical thresholds are crossed and the earth system shifts to another state much less amenable to human life, then everyday life as we know it –social systems, economics, politics – ceases to have meaning.”
Uno Svedin – Swedish Research Council for the Environment, Agriculture Sciences and Spatial Planning

The Challenge for Education
• Our greatest experiment-civilization itself-will succeed only if it can live on natures terms, not man’s. To do this we must adopt principles in which the short term is trumped by the long; in which caution prevails over ingenuity; in the which absurd myth of endless growth is replaced by respect for natural limits; in which progress is steered by precautionary wisdom.
Ronald Wright-A Short History of Progress
