In connection with the launch of the decade, Sweden together with Russia, initiated a process on Education for SustainableDevelopment within the UNECE, resulting in a strategy that needs to be implemented.
Professor Martin Price, Chair of the UK MAB Committee and UNESCO Chair in Sustainable Mountain Development at the University of the Highlands and Islands, played a key role in the development of the strategy, acting as Rapporteur of the ICC Session and participating in an ad hoc working group comprised of representatives from 20 countries.
