Education for Sustainable Development is essential to create citizens with the necessary tools and skills to address the current climate emergency. The 2030 Agenda for Schools (A2030E) programme is one of the tools available to educators for this purpose. The aim of this article is to examine the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Schools programme from a student perspective, and identify both the opportunities it offers and the challenges it faces. The study was conducted at an A2030E high school and involved a total of 15 students from the school’s sustainability committee (10 girls and 5 boys). Of these, 8 took part in a focus group, while the remaining 7 answered an open-ended questionnaire. The results confirm the significant educational potential of A2030E, as it promotes the acquisition of pro-environmental knowledge, attitudes and behaviours. However, the number of teachers and students involved in the initiative remains limited.
