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 and research,
was launched in 20�3. Nagoya University now oﬀers theESD Program in collaboration with 6 Graduate Schools
associated with SD, including the Graduate school ofEnvironmental Studies, International Development,
Bioagricultural Studies, Engineering, Economics andHumanities.
In 20�4, the UNESCO World Conference on the UN's
�0 Years of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD,2005 - 20�4) held in Nagoya. In 20�5, the UN adopted the2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs). SDGs have �7 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 �69.
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 �0 credits in other graduate schools. Approximately,�,�60 students in total join this program annually, andabout �40 of them take subjects at another graduate
school in AY2023. 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.
