Intercultural Understanding Many opportunities for education and sustainable human development are being undermined by the lack of tolerance and intercultural understanding, upon which peace is founded.

 
The resulting aggression and conflict causes significant human tragedies, overwhelms health systems, destroys homes, schools and often whole communities, and has led to increasing numbers of displaced people and refugees. The goals of literacy and EFA cannot be met under such circumstances. Education for sustainable development therefore seeks to build skills and values for peace in the minds of humankind, as enshrined in the UNESCO charter.
