In order to achieve Sustainability individuals, government private sector and community have to start to look at problems as a whole. Breaking problems into pieces just give us simple answers to problems that we make look easier. The video above "where good ideas come from" shows us how powerful a good and innovative idea could be into our complex problems.
The challenges faced by humanity is no longer a responsibility of just one person one country or one organization. Our actions within our local community has a reflection on other living on the other side of the world. Through my learning journey trying to understand the root causes of our environmental social and economical problems has brought me a special way of looking at small situations and to understand their consequences into our and future generations. At this stage, education is the answer for a huge part of our challenges and certainly will help our future generation to make wiser decisions than we have made. UNESCO (2012) contributes to this affirmation as per following:
"It is becoming clear that the search for sustainability
cannot be limited to classrooms, the corporate
boardroom, a local environmental education centre
or a regional government authority, all operating
in isolation. Instead, learning in the context
of sustainability requires cooperation and synergy
between multiple actors in society and the blending
of formal, non-formal and informal education.
Opportunities for this type of cross-boundary
learning expand with increased permeability between
units, disciplines, generations, cultures, institutions,
sectors and so on".
