Dr Vikram Singh, Chancellor, Noida International University, India 5. Dr Sabur Khan, President, Daffodil International University (DIU), Bangladesh Theme: Global Citizenship Education – Role in Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs or the Global Goals), inspire action to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities, and tackle climate change, all the while ensuring that no one is left behind. The idea of Global Citizenship - that the actions we take here can affect lives all over the world, is a compelling lesson for the classroom. Engaging students on global issues, and especially taking action locally, can spark exciting projects and build global awareness in students, developing compassion for the world around them, and discovering the power of taking action. The most powerful common denominator for all the nations is their children and no nation can ignore the fact that it is our duty to bequeath to our children a better inheritance than that bequeathed to us. Nobel Laureate Jan Tinbergen had said: “Mankind's problems can no longer be solved by national governments. What is needed is a World Government. This can best be achieved by strengthening the United Nations System." Today, international terrorism, lawlessness, climate crisis and danger of world war seriously threaten everyone without exception. It is therefore imperative to regulate international conduct, create an atmosphere of global unity and peace and to ensure a safe future for humanity, especially for over 2.5 billion children of the world and the generations-yet-to be born. In this regard, Article 51* of the Constitution of India acts as a beacon, as it provides for promoting international peace and security and for “respect for international law”. *Article 51 of the Constitution of India The State shall endeavour to: 1. promote international peace and security, 2. maintain just and honourable relations between nations, 3. foster respect for international law... and, 4. encourage settlement of international disputes by arbitration.
