Network for Education on the Environment and Sustainability

Stand: 18.08.2026

The Erlangen Network for Education for Sustainable Development is an extracurricular group of stakeholders and organizations active in the fields of environmental education, ESD, and global learning in Erlangen

On January 12, 2021, the Erlangen Network for Education on the Environment and Sustainability was founded. The network, which is aimed particularly at extracurricular stakeholders and organizations in Erlangen involved in environmental education, ESD, and global learning, comprises 35 founding members and has been growing steadily ever since.


The learning centers for sustainability and the ESD stakeholders and organizations, along with their areas of focus and contact information, are listed below.

The network sees itself as an independent association that operates on a voluntary, participatory, and process-oriented basis, promotes multiple perspectives and cooperation, and is open to new members (registration with the ESD coordinator for the City of Erlangen; contact information is available in the service area under “Contact”).
The network also serves as the ESD forum of the City of Erlangen’s Sustainability Advisory Board; this forum is represented by the director of vhs Erlangen (the forum’s sponsor on the Sustainability Advisory Board) and the ESD coordinator at the Environmental Office (the network’s director).

The network’s goal is to connect local education stakeholders through regular exchanges and to create synergies within the educational landscape.
Networking within the city triangle further expands opportunities for mutual learning.
At the same time, sustainable urban development is to be supported through a unified approach and coordinated actions in the form of holistic and transformative educational programs.

The network aims to bring extracurricular learning spaces for sustainability into sharper focus for urban society and schools. The primary focus is on acquiring the skills needed to help shape sustainable development.

As a pioneer of change, the network contributes to socio-ecological transformation through educational topics such as climate protection and biodiversity, globalization and digitalization, responsible consumption, cultural diversity, and social justice. The guiding principle is the UNESCO ESD 2030 program. High-quality education, particularly ESD (SDG 4.7), is viewed as a prerequisite for achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and as a key driver of the 2030 Agenda; it forms the foundation of the network’s work.

Please contact Ms. Baumbauer for the dates of the network meetings.
