In September 2015, the 193 UN Member States adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 4: "inclusive, equitable and quality education and lifelong learning for all." The Global Education Agenda 2030 was established for the implementation of SDG 4 and its ten sub-goals. However, education is not just one goal among others: it crucial for the success of all Sustainable Development Goals.
To promote and implement the SDGs, the Austrian Commission for UNESCO and other organisations have produced information and teaching resources for all age groups, which are summarised here.
