Summary:The Earth Charter is a civil society initiative that aims to strengthen the value of sustainability and interdependence between people and their contexts (Gorbachev,2006). This statement, endorsed by unesco, is considered a valuable educational tool in international projects such as the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014) promoted by United Nations.
