How can humankind respond to the enormous challenges we are currently facing? How can educators help develop an understanding of "one world" and our roles as global citizens?

“Our biggest challenge in this new century is to take an idea that sounds abstract – sustainable development – and turn it into reality for all the world’s people.”

Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations
