On 17 September 2026, UNESCO will launch three new guidance tools developed through the Transforming futures: Enhancing practice for ESD for 2030 through action research project.
The UNESCO Chair team contributed to Driving sustainability in education through a whole-institution approach, co-authored by Charles Hopkins, Katrin Kohl, Isabel Toman and Hilligje van’t Land. The guidance draws on action research with 41 institutions across ten countries and supports educational institutions in embedding Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) across learning, operations, decision-making and community engagement.
UNESCO will also launch guidance on pedagogies and competencies for sustainability and assessing learning in ESD.
