Education Challenge 6.1: Embedding ecosystem restoration education into education systems worldwide by 2030

The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration’s Action Plan identifies 12 priority areas and proposes 30 Restoration Challenges for achieving the UN Decade's goals.

Among the 30 Restoration Challenges lies Education Challenge 6.1, which aims to embed ecosystem restoration education (ERE) into formal and non-formal education systems worldwide by 2030 as a critical element of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).

Led by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE), and UNESCO, the Education Challenge requires the collective effort of governments, educators, students, and communities worldwide to embed ecosystem restoration into our education systems. By doing so, we can create a future where every individual has the knowledge and skills to protect and restore our planet's ecosystems, ensuring a healthy and sustainable future for generations to come.

On May 22, 2023 - International Day for Biological Diversity, the Education Challenge 6.1 under the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration was officially launched.
