RCE Kano has been implementing ESD projects and is geared towards the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development as well as 'transforming the world', targeting the eradication of poverty - 'the greatest global challenge' - in all its forms and dimensions. The Agenda emphatically expresses the commitment by states to take bold and transformative steps to shift the world to a sustainable and resilient path, while ensuring that no one is left behind. Youth inclusivity has therefore factored as an important feature of the SDGs.
