Transforming our World: Responding to the Sustainable Development Goals & Education

The theme of this year's AGM is Transforming our World: Responding to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals through education.

The theme looks at how you can contribute to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals in Scotland and beyond through your work. Scotland has signed up to take action on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across all of its activities. SDG 4 is specifically about education through all aspects of life, and internationally Learning for Sustainability is considered at the heart of each of the 17 Goals.
