6. Message from Chairman –
Pradip Burman
Education is key to the global integrated framework of sustainable
development goals. Education is at the heart of our efforts both to
adapt to change and to transform the world within which we live.
It is recognized as having one of the highest long-term returns on
investment of all development goals. There is a need to rethink and
broaden the notion of lifelong education. It should enable people
to develop awareness of themselves and their environment.
ICSE 2019 has been organized with its ultimate goal of developing
societies competent in the principles of sustainability and striving
to live within the carrying capacity of the planet. ICSE 2019 aims to
aid implementation of education for sustainable development
(ESD) which is culturally-relevant, locally appropriate, occurring
across national school education system.

Convener, ICSE 2019
On behalf of the organizing committee, partners and supporters, it is my
pleasure to welcome you to the First International Conference on Sustainability
Education being organized on 9-10 September 2019 in New Delhi. The idea to
organize this Conference came from the felt need of reorienting education
towards sustainability issues in the context of the global commitment for
Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals. ICSE 2019 is being planned
as a major International event aimed at bringing together experts, practioners
and policy makers on one platform to discuss innovative ideas, practices and
policies related to sustainability education with focus on school education.
We are working towards making ICSE 2019 as one of the most exciting and
stimulating experience for the participants by including plenaries, technical
sessions, key note speeches, case studies presentations, experience sharing
sessions, thematic side events, posters and exhibitions covering diverse elements
of sustainability education including environment education (EE), Education for
Sustainable Development (ESD), climate change education (CCE) etc. The
conference will provide the participants ample opportunities for interactions,
discussion and networking with leaders in the field. We invite you to contribute
your ideas and proposals about the format and content of the conference as
well as action agenda for inclusion of sustainability issues in the school
education system.
