Sustaining Our Oceans

Building Healthy Relationships with Oceans in South-East Asia through Education for Sustainable Development

​

The UNESCO project’s ‘Sustaining Our Oceans: Building Healthy Relationships with Oceans in South-East Asia through Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)’ aims to help local communities learn about the ocean and deepen their understanding of marine ecosystems. It contributes to the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030) by empowering communities through education to address environmental challenges.

​

With support from Fast Retailing Co., Ltd., the parent company of UNIQLO, the initiative fosters knowledge, skills, and a sense of responsibility among young people to protect the marine environment. It equips them to take sustainable actions in their communities. Now more than ever, we need ocean stewards. This initiative provides young people with hands-on learning experiences that inspire active engagement in marine conservation. Together with peers, teachers, and local residents, let us work toward a healthy ocean and a sustainable future.​​
