Reimagining Education for Ecological Civilizations, Florida, 12-14 April 2024.

The three-day conference built on four previous Earth Charter International (ECI) Conferences focused on education for sustainability and global citizenship, and for planetary well-being. 

The recent conference truly reflected the spirit of the Earth Charter embodied by colleagues at ECI, the conference hosts, and participants.

Further, the presentations, keynotes, and discussions suggest growing evidence-based research and practice in the field of education for sustainability and global citizenship, and the use of the Earth Charter as a global ethical framework, and an educational approach.
