In June 2012 in Rio de Janeiro the United Nations organized the Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio +20), the main result of which was a document titled «The Future We Want», developed by participating countries together. The document reflected the progress and gaps in the implementation of earlier agreements on sustainable development of participating countries, as well as some solutions to new challenges in achieving sustainability. As education for sustainable development (ESD) is recognized as the main tool to build a sustainable future, the outcome of the RIO +20 showed once again the importance of creating a new sustainable thinking, i.e. transition to a «green» economy. An important step in the implementation of ESD in the region of the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), which brings together 55 countries in Europe and Central Asia, is the adoption of the European Strategy and the national strategies, which are coordinated by the state authorities and are valued at the international indicators developed by UNECE.
