Sustainable Development

The UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre is placing an emphasis on ‘technical and vocational education and training (TVET) for sustainable development’, as the Centre seeks to assist UNESCO Member States strengthen and upgrade their systems of TVET. This emphasis will be increasingly reflected in the various programme activities mounted by the Centre in its areas of responsibility, especially in light of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, lasting from 2005 to 2014.

TVET for Sustainable Development was one of the main themes examined at the

UNESCO international experts meeting "Learning for Work, Citizenship and Sustainability", hosted in Bonn in October 2004.
