The aim of the Conference was primarily to review the results of the Decade – the final report of the Decade, Shaping the Future We Want, was introduced in which the role of education as a tool for the overall transition towards sustainability was stressed. The Global Action Programme as a follow-up to the Decade was also introduced; commitment to implement it was accepted in the Aichi-Nagoya Declaration.
