Asia will be the key global driving force for development in the 21st Century and its development patterns might give significant adverse impacts if it is inappropriate. The actions for sustainable development patterns at the local community level is essential and should be an integral part of sustainable development both in Asia and the other parts of the world. This side event aims to highlight the importance of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), particularly, (i) the significance of achieving sustainable development in the local communities, (ii) importance of local community empowerment, and (iii) key role of NGOs in local community empowerment.
