Sustainable Development constitutes the main determining factor for human well-being, as explicitly stated in the 17 United Nations Global Goals to be implemented from 2015 to 2030, since it concerns future international development. Human intellectual advancement and the rapid growth of technology lead to continuous progress, with the fundamental prerequisite being the interaction and interconnection of the pillars of Sustainable Development—Economy, Environment, and Society—for the quality of life of people worldwide.
Given that environmental issues are constantly increasing at both local and global levels, educating children as the future active citizens of society is deemed necessary. Therefore, a fundamental basis of the 17 Global Goals in the Greek education system is the relevant teaching of the principles of Sustainable Development through school textbooks and Skill Labs, which are applied from the very beginning of children’s school life. Finally, as in any education system, primary education holds the most significant role to start educating young generations about sustainable development and meet aims for the world in the future.
