ABSTRACT
The Centre for Environment Education (CEE) in Ahmedabad, India, got a running start on the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD) (2005–2015) by hosting the first international conference of the decade January 18–20. The attendance of 900 educators from 50 countries exceeded expectations. Not only did these participants share their experiences and develop action plans in 20 topical workshops, they also offered detailed comments on the UNESCO implementation plan for the Decade and presented their own hopes for the Decade in the Ahmedabad Declaration.
