1999 OKAYAMA NGO SUMMIT
FOR
INTERNATIONAL CONTRIBUTION
International Environment Network Meeting
in Tamano
December 10, (Sat), 1999
Tamano, Okayama, Japan
| "Sustainable development, meaning the
world we must leave to future generations
in terms of available renewable resources,
has become very much the tallest order
of
the day." "Basic education is the true driving force for sustainable development in the world. I shall pursue this effort on behalf of basic education in every practical way throughout my term in office. Basic education moreover fosters the initial seeds of mutual understanding, through the twin key concepts of 'tolerance' and 'learning to live together', whereby all and each may be enriched in a harvest of many cultures." |
Remarks made by Mr Koichiro Matsuura
Director-General of UNESCO
