Remember the carefree days of building forts and playing outside? Fresh air, clear skies, and lush trees surrounded us. Those moments weren’t just fun—they were our first connection with nature. Today, cities like Delhi struggle with some of the worst air pollution globally, and Bengaluru is losing its green spaces to rapid urbanisation. Climate change, plastic pollution, and deforestation are real challenges.
It’s a sunny summer day, and you’re strolling through the park with your child. They stop to admire the bright, colourful flowers, chasing a butterfly with wide-eyed wonder. “Why is the sky so blue today?” they ask, their curiosity bubbling. Their curiosity is endless, and in that moment, it’s clear—they see the beauty in the world with fresh eyes.
The Sustainable Development Goals in education are about creating a world where everyone has a fair shot at a good life, with access to the resources they need and a planet that can thrive for future generations. Bringing these goals into our schools has never been more critical. With challenges like climate change and environmental crises becoming part of our everyday lives, it’s clear that we need to think and act differently—and it all starts with education.
