Additional Resources on
Global Issues and Sustainability

Facing the Future's curriculum resources aim to educate students about global issues and engage them in thinking critically about real solutions to these issues. Global issues are social, political, economic, and environmental issues that affect everyone. Sustainable solutions to these issues are those that deal not only with present challenges, but that also take into account the well-being of future generations.

To complement Facing the Future's curriculum resources, this section contains background information and additional resources to help educators and students to teach and learn about global issues and sustainability.

Our 60 Second Tours provide a quick overview of various issues, while our Issues In Depth give further information. The Fast Facts and Quick Actions portion of our website delivers facts about a specific global issue and quick actions that students can do to help resolve the issue.
