Geography is an important aspect of citizenship education and provides a relevant context for the values and attitudes that are fundamental to the development of an informed, active, and engaged global citizen.

A geographically informed citizen will:

• recognize that all living things depend on healthy ecosystems
• recognize that sustainability is both an individual and collective responsibility
• foster responsible stewardship by developing an appreciation and respect for both natural and built environments
• investigate ways in how stewardship contributes to sustainability
• participate critically and act creatively to determine more sustainable ways of living
• acknowledge worldviews that value diversity and social justice are essential for achieving sustainability
• apply problem solving to geographic issues for the common good
• apply geospatial skills in order to participate in democratic processes
