MEdIES is an initiative on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), launched in Johannesburg during the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD, 2002). It is in line with the principles of the UN Decade on ESD (2005-2014) and is taking shape through various educational activities in the Mediterranean countries. MEdIES aims to facilitate the educational community at large to contribute in a systematic and concrete way to the implementation of Agenda 21, the UN Decade for ESD (2005-2014), and the recent Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the successful application of innovative educational programmes (trainings, publications, seminars, etc) in the countries around the Mediterranean basin.
