Conference participants will exchange best practices on 'Education for Sustainable Development' from all world regions. They will develop mechanisms for enhanced cooperation in the implementation of the UN Decade, especially focusing on the exchange between developing countries, those in transition and industrialized countries.

Five years into the Decade, the conference will follow four objectives:
- to highlight the relevance of ESD to all of education;
- to promote international exchange on ESD, especially between the North and the South;
- to carry out a stock-taking of the implementation of the UN Decade and to develop strategies for the way ahead.

Furthermore, participants will discuss regional, national and cultural differences as well as challenges in the implementation of the UN Decade. At the end of the conference, a declaration reflecting the debates and proposing guidelines for the implementation of the UN Decade in its second half shall be adopted.
