Development of ESD Learning Tool to Understand the Relationship between Daily Social Activities and SDGs

Abstract

Education for sustainable development (ESD) for local citizens is indispensable for achieving the United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDGs). In this study, we developed a learning tool for raising awareness of the inter-relationships between daily activities and SDGs. This ESD tool is a package that consists of a checklist of cross-reference tables between user activities and 17 SDGs. The result of the study, through verifications of the workshops, indicates the effectiveness of the ESD tool raising citizens’ awareness due to visualizing SDGs in daily activities and its ease of utilization in a workshop.
