Education, communication, and public awareness are essential elements in ensuring improvements in the quality of life of all people, eradication of poverty, reducing inequalities and promoting sustainable development and growth. It is strongly argued that efforts focused on promoting environmental education constitute key elements for achieving the crucial international agenda, including the  Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (UNDESD, 2005-2014).
