"It is imperative that young people's experiences of education from nursery school to university equip them with the knowledge, skills and values needed to live and work sustainably. And once they have become adults the learning shouldn't stop. Whether it's in the workplace or in communities, sustainable development is a lifelong learning journey". (Sustainable Development Commission)
