International Conference Educon 2025
About Theme
In an era marked by escalating climate change and environmental challenges, the need for a transformative approach to education has never been more critical. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offer a vital framework for global efforts toward a sustainable future, with education playing a central role in achieving these objectives, particularly in the context of Goal 4 (Quality Education) and Goal 13 (Climate Action). Education is pivotal in fostering resilience and sustainability as the cornerstone for empowering individuals to drive positive change. By integrating environmental education into curricula at all levels, promoting interdisciplinary research, and encouraging community engagement, we can cultivate a generation of informed and proactive citizens equipped to address the pressing environmental issues of our time. This conference on “Education for Sustaining Climate and Resilience” seeks to convene educators, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to explore how educational systems can be transformed to align with the SDGs. It will provide a platform for dialogue and collaboration, inspiring innovative educational approaches that prioritize sustainability and resilience. The role of education in climate action is integral to the success of the SDGs. Quality education raises awareness and understanding of climate change and drives urgent measures to combat its impacts. This conference aims to explore how education systems can be reshaped to equip individuals and communities with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to navigate and mitigate the impacts of climate change, ultimately fostering a sustainable and resilient future.
