The United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development will be officially launched on March 1, 2005 in New York.
The UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and UNESCO's Koïchiro Matsuura will be present at the ceremony. In addition to the international launch, a series of regional and national launches of the Decade will take place during the course of 2005.
In December 2002, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution to put in place a UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, lasting from 2005 to 2014. UNESCO was tasked with leading the Decade and developing a draft International Implementation Scheme (IIS).
For more information on the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, and an electronic version of the Draft International Implementation Scheme for the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, please visit the related page on the UN-NGLS website.
