Background on MDP Education
- 2008 Report - International Commission on Education for Sustainable Development Practice"While no individual can master all or even most of the skills required—in science, policy design, politics, management, and cross-cultural understanding—for the success of broad-based progress in sustainable development, we certainly need a new generation of development practitioners who can understand the “languages” and practices of many specialties, and who can work fl uidly and fl exibly across intellectual and professional disciplines and geographic regions."
