Guidelines on Sustainability Science in Research and Education Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO “Guidelines on Sustainability Science in Research and Education” is the main output of the international UNESCO project “Broadening the Application of the Sustainability Science Approach” initiated in October 2015 with the support of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (Japan/MEXT) to identify good practices and develop policy guidelines to help Member States harness the potential of sustainability science in their sustainable development strategies.This project aimed to help UNESCO Member States and other stakeholders introduce or reinforce a sustainability science approach into transdisciplinary research and education, to enable them to better respond to global challenges, through three symposia to foster dialogue and collaboration among experts and policy-makers. Based on the joint efforts of UNESCO’s Natural Sciences Sector, Social and Human Sciences Sector, Education Sector and Regional Science Bureau for Asia and the Pacific in Jakarta, the project benefited from the guidance of a multidisciplinary steering committee and a drafting sub-committee.For further information on Sustainability Science, please visit: https://en.unesco.org/sustainability-science 
[Summary] 3rd Global Report on Adult Learning and Education: The Impact of Adult Learning and Education on Health and Well-being, Employment and the Labour Market, and Social, Civic and Community Life; Key Messages and Executive Summary Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) The third Global Report on Adult Learning and Education (GRALE III) draws on monitoring surveys completed by 139 UNESCO Member States to develop a differentiated picture of the global state of adult learning and education (ALE). It evaluates countries’ progress in fulfilling the commitments they made in the Belém Framework for Action, which was adopted at the Sixth International Conference on Adult Education (CONFINTEA VI) in 2009.In addition, the report examines the impact of ALE on three major areas: health and well-being; employment and the labour market; and social, civic and community life. GRALE III provides policymakers, researchers and practitioners with compelling evidence for the wider benefits of ALE across all of these areas. In so doing, it highlights some of the major contributions that ALE can make to realizing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This report is guided by three goals: first, to analyse the results of a monitoring survey of UNESCO Member States, and to take stock of whether countries are fulfilling the commitments they made at CONFINTEA VI; second, to strengthen the case for adult learning and education with evidence of its benefits on health and well-being,employment and the labour market, and social, civic and community life; and third, to provide a platform for debate and action at national, regional and global levels.

Al hacerlo, destaca algunas de las contribuciones más importantes que el AEA puede hacer para realizar los objetivos de la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible.El presente informe responde a tres objetivos: en primer lugar, analizar los resultados de una encuesta de seguimiento realizada entre los Estados Miembros de la UNESCO y determinar si los países están cumpliendo los compromisos que contrajeron en CONFINTEA VI; en segundo lugar, reforzar los argumentos en favor del aprendizaje y la educación de adultos con datos fehacientes sobre los beneficios que reportan en los ámbitos de la salud y el bienestar, el empleo y el mercado de trabajo y la vida social, cívica y comunitaria; y en tercer lugar, proporcionar un referente a partir del cual debatir y pasar a la acción a escala nacional, regional e internacional.

Le rapport évalue les progrès accomplis par les pays dans la mise en oeuvre des engagements qu’ils ont pris dans le Cadre d’action de Belém, document adopté lors de la sixième Conférence internationale sur l’éducation des adultes (CONFINTEA VI) en 2009.En outre, le rapport examine l’impact de l’apprentissage et de l’éducation des adultes sur trois domaines majeurs : la santé et le bien-être ; l’emploi et le marché du travail ; et la vie sociale, civique et communautaire. GRALE III fournit aux décideurs politiques, chercheurs et praticiens des preuves irréfutables des bénéfices élargis de l’apprentissage et l’éducation des adultes dans tous ces domaines et éclaire, de ce fait, les contributions essentielles qu’ils peuvent apporter à la réalisation du Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030.Ce rapport répond à trois objectifs : premièrement, analyser les résultats d’un suivi des États membres de l’UNESCO et établir si les pays remplissent les engagements pris à CONFINTEA VI ; deuxièmement, promouvoir l’apprentissage et l’éducation des adultes par des preuves de leurs effets positifs sur la santé et le bien-être, l’emploi et le marché du travail, ainsi que la vie sociale, civique et communautaire ; et troisièmement fournir une plate-forme de débat et d’action aux niveaux national, régional et international. 
3rd Global Report on Adult Learning and Education: The Impact of Adult Learning and Education on Health and Well-being, Employment and the Labour Market, and Social, Civic and Community Life Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) The Global Reports on Adult Learning and Education (GRALE) play a key role in meeting UNESCO’s commitment to monitor and report on countries’ implementation of the Belém Framework for Action. This Framework was adopted by 144 UNESCO Member States at the Sixth International Conference on Adult Learning and Education (CONFINTEAVI), which was held in Belém, Brazil, in 2009. In the Belém Framework for Action, countries agreed to improve ALE across five areas of action: policy; governance; financing; participation, inclusion and equity; and quality (UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning, 2010b).GRALE III appears as the ALE community prepares for an important global conference: the 2017 Mid-Term Review of CONFINTEA VI. GRALE III will help high-level decision makers take stock of progress in delivering their Belém promises since 2009. It will also help them look ahead to 2030. Policymakers are now considering how to put into practice the ALE promises made in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (United Nations, 2015) and the Recommendation on Adult Learning and Education (2015) (UNESCO, 2015). GRALE III will support their deliberations by showing how ALE can help achieve broader health, economic and social outcomes. It will identify major challenges for ALE and examine the implications for ALE of major global trends like migration and demographic shifts.GRALE III brings together the latest data, policy analysis and case studies on ALE. Government leaders will find high quality evidence to inform their policies, strategies and budgets. Proponents of change will find compelling arguments showing how ALE promotes sustainable development, healthier societies, better jobs and more active citizenship. Policy analysts will find entry points and ideas for future research and policy.

EIU Best Practice Series No. 5: Peace and human rights education through education for sustainable development: lessons from four case studies in the Philippines Year of publication: 2007 Corporate author: APCEIU The four case studies showed that EIU through peace and human rights education in the context of education for sustainable development can build a critical mass of Filipinos who will reject wars and promote social security. Education can play a role to direct the children, youth, and adults toward peace building and better understanding of cultural differences. It should also be noted that when institutions adopt a peace culture, establishing local and international organizations and putting up resources for various peace-building initiatives become possible. Educational intervention can effect changes in the minds of men and build a lasting and substantive foundation for peace based on justice and respect for human rights. إعلان آيشي - ناغويا بشأن التعليم من أجل التنمية المستدامة Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO We, the participants of the UNESCO World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development held in AichiNagoya, Japan, from 10 to 12 November 2014, adopt this Declaration and call for urgent action to further strengthen and scale up Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), in order to enable current generations to meet their needs while allowing future generations to meet their own, with a balanced and integrated approach regarding the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development.
