Cambiemos las mentalidades, no el clima: la función de la educación Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO La educación es la herramienta más eficaz para preparar a las sociedades para los desafíos globales que plantea el cambio climático, ya que proporciona a las personas, a las comunidades y al mundo en general los conocimientos, las competencias y las actitudes que se necesitan para construir unas sociedades sostenibles, de bajas emisiones y resilientes al cambio climático.La educación para el desarrollo sostenible (EDS) no es un “extra”, sino un componente esencial de cualquier estrategia para combatir los efectos del cambio climático, poner en práctica un acuerdo mundial y alcanzar los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). La EDS contribuye a concienciar y cambiar comportamientos y actitudes y permite a las personas tomar decisiones informadas sobre su vida. Changeons les esprits, pas le climat: le rôle de l’éducation Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO L’éducation est fondamentale afin de préparer les sociétés aux défis mondiaux que pose le changement climatique. Elle offre aux individus, aux communautés et au monde en général la compréhension, les compétences et les attitudes nécessaires pour construire des sociétés à faibles émissions, plus vertes et résilientes. L’éducation au développement durable (EDD) n’est pas un « supplément » mais plutôt une partie intégrante de toute stratégie visant à lutter contre les effets du changement climatique, à mettre en pratique un accord mondial et à atteindre les objectifs de développement durable (ODD). Elle permet de sensibiliser les personnes, favorise une prise de décision éclairée et donc le changement des comportements des individus.

Shaping the future we want: UN decade of education for sustainable development (2005-2014); final report; summary Year of publication: 2014 Author: Carolee Buckler | Heather Creech Corporate author: UNESCO This summary for policy- and decision-makers provides a brief overview of the key findings and trends, a synopsis of highlights, challenges and actions across all levels and areas of education, and steps for scaling up actions presented in the UNESCO 2014 Global Monitoring and Evaluation Final Report, Shaping the Future We Want – UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014). The Final Report provides an assessment of progress towards embedding education for sustainable development (ESD) into education systems and into sustainable development efforts. Building on the findings of the past two DESD Global Monitoring and Evaluation reports, and based upon Member States’ and other stakeholders’ assessments of the current state of ESD, the Final Report maps the achievements and challenges of a decade of progress and action on ESD at the global, national, regional and local levels, and within all areas and levels of education. The Final Report concludes that a solid foundation has been laid for ESD at the end of the DESD, achieved by raising awareness, influencing policies and generating significant numbers of good practice projects in all areas of education and learning. At the end of 10 years of work, 10 key findings and trends have emerged that will guide ESD into the future. The report also shows that despite the successes, a full integration of ESD into education systems has yet to take place in most countries. Façonner l’avenir que nous voulons: Décennie des Nations Unies pour l’éducation au service du développement durable (2005-2014) RAPPORT FINAL Year of publication: 2014 Author: Carolee Buckler | Heather Creech Corporate author: UNESCO Destiné aux responsables politiques et aux décideurs, ce document résume les principales conclusions et les grandes tendances, présente une synthèse des points clés, des défis et des initiatives à tous les niveaux et dans tous les domaines de l’éducation, ainsi que les mesures à adopter pour intensifier les actions décrites dans le Rapport final de suivi et d’évaluation 2014, Façonner l’avenir que nous voulons − Décennie des Nations Unies pour l’éducation au service du développement durable (2005-2014). Le Rapport final de suivi et d’évaluation examine les progrès qui ont été accomplis afin d’intégrer l’Éducation au développement durable (EDD) aux systèmes éducatifs et aux efforts déployés en faveur du développement durable. À partir des conclusions des deux précédents rapports mondiaux de suivi et d’évaluation de la Décennie et de l’évaluation de l’état actuel de l’EDD par les États membres et autres parties prenantes, ce rapport final décrit les résultats obtenus et les problèmes rencontrés au terme de dix années de progrès et d’action sur le plan de l’EDD aux niveaux mondial, national, régional et local, ainsi que dans tous les domaines et à tous les niveaux de l’éducation. Le rapport note en conclusion qu’au terme de la Décennie, l’EDD repose désormais sur des fondements solides et ce, grâce à une prise de conscience renforcée, à l’influence exercée sur les politiques et à la réalisation d’un grand nombre de projets respectueux des bonnes pratiques dans tous les domaines de l’éducation et de l’apprentissage. Les dix conclusions et tendances clés qui se dégagent à l’issue de ces dix années de travail serviront à l’avenir de guide à l’EDD. Le rapport montre également qu’en dépit des progrès accomplis, dans la plupart des pays, l’EDD n’a toujours pas été pleinement intégrée aux systèmes éducatifs. 
A Guide for Gender Equality in Teacher Education Policy and Practices Year of publication: 2015 Author: María C. Arango Restrepo | Esther Corona-Vargas Corporate author: UNESCO Transforming the culture of teacher education institutions and making them gender-sensitive entities is a daunting task. However, it is not an impossible task. Understanding gender and applying gender mainstreaming are critical foundations for fostering social cohesion that goes beyond teacher education institutions and the school. Teachers are increasingly expected to play crucial roles in preparing young people to face the future with confidence, purpose, responsibility and gender sensitivity. Teacher education institutions must be ready to provide the enabling environment and training and continuing education for the development of knowledge, values, skills and gender-responsive practices that the teachers need in the 21st century.This Guide, through its ten Modules, takes the reader through step by step on how gender can be mainstreamed in all areas of teacher education and training: from policy and planning, administration and management, gender-responsive budgeting, social services, the environment, curriculum, pedagogy, research, and to advocacy. Through this Guide, teacher educators are also reminded what teachers must know and be able to do in order to promote gender equality through education. The Modules can be used individually or comprehensively depending on the situation and context of countries.This Guide is dedicated to all teacher educators, whose intellectual rigour and tireless efforts to foster enabling environments for inclusive and gender sensitive education, are indispensable for success in continuing education. 
Global Citizenship Education: Preparing Learners for the Challenges of the 21st Century Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO The United Nations Secretary-General’s Global Education First Initiative (GEFI) has established education as a means to ‘foster global citizenship’ – one of its three priority areas. To support this, UNESCO organized two landmark meetings on GCE in 2013. This publication aims to define the parameters of GCE by using the collective expertise, experience and wisdom of those participants who gathered at these landmark events, and to plan for future action in line with emerging thinking and other ongoing work. The review establishes that GCE has a critical role to play in equipping learners with competencies to deal with the dynamic and interdependent world of the twenty-first century. While GCE has been applied in different ways in different contexts, regions and communities, it has a number of common elements, which include fostering in learners. In formal settings, GCE can be delivered as an integral part of an existing subject (such as civic or citizenship education, social studies, environmental studies, geography or culture), or as an independent subject area. Integrated models appear to be more common. Some less traditional, but at least as effective, pathways for GCE have included the following: the use of information and communication technologies and social media, sport competitions and the use of art and music, and youth-led initiatives employing a wide variety of approaches. Both traditional and new horizons for GCE are profiled in this review. This publication also explores a number of enabling conditions for the promotion and implementation of GCE. These include: the existence of an open environment for universal values, the implementation of transformative pedagogy and support for youth-led initiatives.The review acknowledges that there are a number of ongoing tensions with the concepts of global citizenship and global citizenship education. While these tensions vary, they all point to the fundamental question of how to promote universality (e.g. common and collective identity, interest, participation, duty), while respecting singularity (e.g. individual rights, self-improvement). Some ways forward to resolve these tensions are suggested, whilst maintaining that challenges around theoretical elements of GCE should not undermine its practice. The processes documented in this publication have strengthened partnerships, built coalitions and contributed to improving the evidence base on the theory and practice of global citizenship education. While there are tasks that remain, this foundation bodes well for improving the enabling conditions and the practices highlighted in this review. By preparing learners to fulfil their potential in an increasingly globalized world, we are promoting transformed societies that are also better equipped to deal with the twenty-first century challenges and to seize twenty-first century opportunities. Educación para la Ciudadanía Mundial: Preparar a los Educandos para los Retos del Siglo XXI Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO Esta publicación explora una serie de condiciones favorables para la promoción y la puesta en práctica de la ECM. Entre estos se incluyen: la existencia de un entorno abierto para los valores universales, la aplicación de pedagogía transformativa y el apoyo a las iniciativas dirigidas por los jóvenes. El estudio reconoce que hay una serie de tensiones vigentes para con los conceptos de ciudadanía mundial y educación para la ciudadanía mundial. Si bien estas tensiones varían, todas ellas apuntan a la cuestión fundamental de cómo promover la universalidad (p. ej. la identidad, el interés, la participación, el deber comunes y colectivos), respetando al mismo tiempo la singularidad (es decir, los derechos individuales, la superación personal). Se proponen algunas maneras de avanzar para resolver estas tensiones, a la vez que se mantiene que las dificultades que plantean los elementos teóricos de la ECM no deben socavar su práctica.
