I was on a live stream on youtube earlier today, and I was asked question about Agenda 21 and education, to which I didn't have the answer in front of me. But I thought I'd post it here so it's easy to find in future.
This is the NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT ACT 107 OF 1998
If you search that document for the term "Agenda 21", you find under definitions:
"(a) The Minister must initiate an Annual Performance Report on Sustainable Development to meet the government’s commitment to Agenda 21.
(b) (i) The Annual Performance Report must cover all relevant activities of all national departments and spheres of government.
(ii) All relevant organs of state must provide information to the Minister by a date to be determined by the Minister for the purposes of the report referred to in paragraph (a) and this may consist of an assembly of information compiled for other purposes. "
And also:
(d) The purpose of the report shall be to -
(i) provide an audit and a report of the government’s performance in respect of Agenda 21;
(ii) review procedures for coordinating policies and budgets to meet the objectives of Agenda 21; and
(iii) review progress on a public educational programme to support the objectives of Agenda 21.
And that's all that was needed.
Similar "educational" programmes have been introduced into national curriculums through UNESCO/UNICEF.
Till next time!
