Education
Education is fundamental to the mission of Earth Charter Initiative. ECI has therefore created the Earth Charter Center for Education for Sustainable Development at the University for Peace in Costa Rica. 
The Center’s mission is to promote the use of the Earth Charter in schools, colleges, universities, and non-formal education programmes throughout the world and to contribute to education for a sustainable way of life. In addition, a Task Force has been put in place to help implement the education strategy, and it will work in close collaboration with the Center.

The Earth Charter Initiative seeks to collaborate with the efforts of the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development. In October 2003, UNESCO adopted a resolution "recognizing the Earth Charter as an important ethical framework fo sustainable development." The resolution affirms member states' intention to "utilize the Earth Charter as an educational instrument, particularly in the framework of the United Nations Decade for Education for Sustainable Development" (Resolution Reference 32C/ Resolution 17).
