This paper has been produced to inform UNESCO in its preparation for the 2017 Global Education Monitoring Report (GEM) Report. Its purpose is to examine the current preparation of teachers in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Global Citizenship Education (GCED) as outlined in the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 4.7.
The literature for this study is based on looking not only at material that makes direct reference to ESD and GCED, but also broader themes that have a potential bearing on these areas such as a sense of global, social and environmental responsibility and a commitment to social justice.
In this paper teacher education includes the initial and in-service continuing professional development (CPD) of teachers.
