Breaking Habits With ESD

In 2019 WWFMY ESD and UM conducted a survey to find out the level of environmental awareness among Malaysians. One of the main findings shows that those who were exposed to environmental activities were more likely to change their lifestyle. In the effort to share the essence of this finding, we’re embarking on a 21-day challenge hoping to expose and inculcate our audience with environmental initiatives that can be done at the comfort of their homes.

Want to know what you can to save our planet? Join the #BreakingHabitsWithESD challenge for 21 days. Every day we’ll give a challenge that you can do at home even during the current Conditional Movement Control Order.

Do the challenge and snap a video/photo.
Tag us @wwfmyesd @wwfmy on Instagram or Facebook with the hashtag #BreakingHabitsWithESD
By the end of 21 days, those who take part in most challenges will win our exclusive WWF tumbler, canvas bag and a pin! That easy!

Hopefully, by doing these easy challenges in 21 days, you’ll be more familiar with small but significant actions that can be done to save our planet. We need you together possible!

Global Citizenship is one of the themes in the Eco-Schools programme. It examines our rights and responsibilities on the National, Continental, and Global scale. It also encourages staff, students and parents to look at the impact of our consumption habits on other parts of the world.

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a combination of innovative educational approaches to ingrain environmental citizenship values into the society. The programme is developed using the framework recommended by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). It emphasises promoting behavioural change using economic, social, environmental and cultural dimensions. At the core of ESD is the necessity for the development of critical thinking in each individual. Using participatory teaching and learning methods, youths and children are encouraged to imagine an ecologically excellent future. They are asked to make collaborative decisions on local issues while also looking at the global impacts. This will enable them to understand the connection between the vulnerable nature and harmful impacts of human activities.
