Nominations are invited for the fifth edition of the UNESCO-Japan Prize on Education for Sustainable Development established by the UNESCO Executive Board in October 2014 and funded by the Government of Japan to reward individuals, institutions, organizations or other entities for exceptional projects and programmes in the field of Education for sustainable development.
The Prize aims to generate and scale-up inspiring action at all levels of education and learning, and contribute to the implementation of the Sustainable Development.
Each of the three laureates will receive an award of US $50,000. In addition, winners will be invited to join the Partner Networks of the Global Action Programme on Education for Sustainable Development, in order to tie long-term collaboration with UNESCO beyond the award ceremony.
