Importance of Eco-literacy and Ocean Literacy for the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development

 The United Nations announced a Decade dedicated to Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030; UNESCO, 2020) with the mission to provide a unique foundation to strengthen ocean management for the benefit of all of us. 

The objective is to join the Stakeholders from around the world under the same cause to ensure that the development of science supports creating the conditions for an ocean that is sustainable. There are six priority societal challenges: 

- one clean ocean; 

- a healthy and resilient ocean; 

- an ocean predictable; 

- a safe ocean; 

- a productive ocean and exploited in a sustainable way; 

- and a transparent, accessible ocean.

Eco-literacy is an etwinning project of integrated environmental education that takes place in all schools/teachers participating in the etwinning project.

The project was created with the objective of promoting ecological literacy and environmental awareness, through activities that complement regular classes and programmatic contents, within the scope of the most diverse disciplines. Its objective is to promote good environmental practices and conscientious citizenship, through a more active participation of schools and school centers in the county in promoting environmental responsibility and awareness and sustainability.
