Declaration of the Italian UNESCO Chairs for the Sustainability

On 30 November 2021, in the Aldo Moro Room of the Ministry of Education, the "Declaration of Italian UNESCO Chairs for Sustainability" will be presented, in the presence of the Minister of Education Patrizio
Bianchi, the Minister for Universities and Research Cristina Messa, the President of the Italian National Commission for UNESCO Franco Bernabè and the Deputy Director General for Education UNESCO Stefania Giannini.

The Declaration for Sustainability and Socio-Ecological Transition is the result of a process that began in autumn 2020 with the project "UNESCO Chairs' Dialogues: a laboratory of ideas for the world to come".

The Chairs, developing an intense scientific dialogue on the goals of the 2030 Agenda, are working as a collective body committed to becoming "a community of knowledge".
The ecological revolution requires integrated thinking, the involvement of all, and a profound change in our outlook on ourselves and the world, through the co-creation of a new paradigm of human development in harmony with the planet that hosts us.
The Declaration represents the commitment of the Chairs in the development of Education and Knowledge in relation to the global environmental challenge, offering a contribution of ideas to national policies,
international and UNESCO policies.
This will be the occasion when the Declaration will be signed by the two Ministers and the President of the Italian National Commission for UNESCO. At the end of the meeting, the Chairs will formally deliver
the Declaration to UNESCO.

The initiative is organised by the Italian UNESCO Chairs with the support of the Italian National Commission for UNESCO.
