Education is one of the ’paths’ in Agenda 21 towards a sustainable society. Education alone cannot achieve a more sustainable future; however, without education and learning for sustainable development, we will not be able to reach the sustainability goals. The Division for Higher Education Development at Lund Univsersity will arrange a seminar series that broadly deals with principles and practices of sustainable education.
