Nagoya University
Education for Sustainable Development
Consortium Program with 6 Graduate Schools

Nagoya University Education for SustainableDevelopment Program (NU ESD Program) which relates
to sustainable development (SD) education andresearch, was launched in 2013. Nagoya University nowoﬀers the ESD Program in collaboration with 6 Graduate
Schools associated with SD, including the Graduate
school of Environmental Studies, International
Development, Bioagricultural Studies, Engineering,Economics and Humanities.
In 2014, the UNESCO World Conference on the UN's
10 Years of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD,2005 - 2014) held in Nagoya. In 2015, the UN adopted the2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs). SDGs have 17 goals which aim to end poverty,
protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects ofeveryone, everywhere. And each goal has multiple
targets, in all 169.
The Nagoya University Academic Charter states that
we seek to, "Contribute to global exchange, especially

with Asian countries, by promoting international academic
collaboration and the education of international students".
We hope our students at Nagoya University will become
the leaders of a sustainable future. To fulﬁll this role,basic understanding and sharing of values, principles, andknowledge in SD as part of their liberal arts study iscrucial. And students must balance discipline-type andsolution-type research and education related to SD.
Students admitted to a master's course in any of thegraduate schools (Initial Postgraduate Program) may earn
up to 10 credits in other graduate schools. Approximately,
1,100 students in total join this program annually, andabout 80 of them take subjects at another graduate
school in FY2020. Check the graduate school ordepartment's provisions on courses for details.
Through the NU ESD Program, it is expected thatstudents will be acquired the value and knowledge of SD,
disciplines and skills to ﬁnd solutions, and ability ofsimultaneously achieve multiple SDGs.

See our website for details
on this program and ESD-related information.
