SDG Handprint Lab

A local Area Study for Sustainability Action Pedagogy for Higher Education Institutions.

Handprint Concept

The Handprint signifies positive action and commitment. It serves as a measure of human contribution to sustainability at the individual, community, national and global level just as the footprint is a measure of unsustainable human action. Launched at the 4th International Conference on Environment Education, Ahmedabad 2007, the Handprint is a powerful tool in the journey towards Sustainable Development.
