Les victimes du dérèglement climatique : de l'utopie à la réalité Year of publication: 2023 Author: Rebecca Thissen Corporate author: CND 11.11.11 «Pourquoi devrions-nous, au Pakistan, payer pour des inondations catastrophiques que nous n’avons pas causées ?» Telle était la question lancée par la ministre pakistanaise de l’Environnement en amont de la COP27, au moment où un tiers de son pays se retrouvait sous les eaux à cause de terribles inondations. Il a fallu attendre 30 ans pour que la question du dédommagement des victimes climatiques avance dans les négociations internationales : fin 2022, lors de la COP27, les Nations Unies ont décidé d’établir un fonds et des arrangements financiers spécifiques. L’étude « Pertes et préjudices, de l’utopie à la réalité » vise à donner une compréhension plus fine des pertes et préjudices, tout en les replaçant dans leur contexte historique, ce qui permet de comprendre les dynamiques en présence et l’aboutissement de la décision de la COP27. Il se veut également être une porte d’entrée quant à la réflexion sur le financement des pertes et préjudices en tant que tel, détaillant les pistes de solutions pour définir son rôle, à qui il devrait bénéficier, via quel mécanisme il devrait être acheminé et quelles sources de financement permettraient de l’alimenter. " Why should we, in Pakistan, pay for catastrophic floods that we did not cause?" That is the question posed by the Pakistani Minister of Environment ahead of the COP27, at a time when one-third of her country was submerged due to devastating floods. It took 30 years fo the issues of compensation for climate victims to progress in international negotiations: by the end of 2022, during the COP27, the United Nation decided to established a fund and specific financial arrangements. The study « Loss and Prejudices , from utopia to reality » aims at giving a more detailled comprehension of loss and prejudices, while placing them in their historical context, which helps understanding the dynamics at play and the outcome of the COP27 decision. It also aims at serving as a gateway to the consideration of financing losses and damages per se, outlining potential solutions to define its role, who should benefit from it, through which mechanism it should be channeled, and what funding sources would contribute to it.

Climate Change and Sustainability in Science and Social Science Secondary School Curricula Year of publication: 2024 Author: Marcia McKenzie | Aaron Benavot Corporate author: UNESCO There is an urgent need to transform the way climate change and sustainability are taught in classrooms and at schools. Learners must grasp the environmental impacts of climate change, how climate change relates to their own context and what actions can be undertaken and contribute to making societies more sustainable, equitable, just and climate-resilient. The findings presented in this publication indicate that accelerated efforts are needed. In a study of over 530 Grade 9 science and social science curricula from 85 countries worldwide, we found that 69 per cent of curricula contained no references to climate change, while 66 per cent had no references to sustainability. Furthermore, while 69 per cent of surveyed teachers from eight of the countries studied reported that environment, sustainability and climate change topics were included in the science and social science curricula in their schools only 50 per cent included them in their teaching. While there is a notable inclusion of environment, sustainability and climate change in science and social science curricula across countries, the depth of focus of this inclusion varies widely. Cognitive learning prevails over social and emotional or action-oriented learning. Climate change and sustainability in school practices must be strengthened, with teachers playing a key role in enhancing integration through teaching methods and materials. 
Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Instruments for the Sustainable Development Goals: A Global Outlook Year of publication: 2024 Author: Galindo Moreno | Manuel Ricardo Corporate author: UNESCO This publication explores the design, implementation and impact of science, technology and innovation (STI) policy instruments across regions, revealing diverse policy priorities and support strategies. Data from the UNESCO Global Observatory of Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Instruments (GO-SPIN) platform shows that STI policy instruments are closely linked to the SDGs, particularly with SDG 9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure), SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth) and SDG 4 (quality education). Over three-quarters of these policy instruments target these goals. This publication advocates for the use of evidence in designing policies and policy instruments and underscores the importance of continuous monitoring of their implementation. Additionally, it recommends diversifying funding sources, enhancing program management, fostering communication with stakeholders, and applying policy instruments to promote transformative learning.

Accelerating Carbon Neutrality: Innovative Actions for Sustainable Development Year of publication: 2024 Author: UNESCO Beijing Climate change is a global challenge that respects no national borders. To achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, all nations need to take actions to address climate change and its impacts now. The Chinese government attaches great importance to addressing climate change by setting it as a strategic goal concerning economic and social development while considering green and low-carbon development as an essential aspect of ecological civilization. China pledges to achieve carbon peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060.Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is essential to promote climate action. As the creators and builders of the future world, youth play a significant role. Youth are the future. In the spirit of “Changing the minds, not the climate”, UNESCO has been committed to empowering the young generation to tackle climate change, supported by its robust networks in education, sciences, culture, communication and information.In June 2022, the first phase (2022-2025) of the “Accelerating Carbon Neutrality: Innovative Actions for Sustainable Development” project was officially launched under the sponsorship of the China Youth Development Foundation-MercedesBenz Star Fund. This project will fill the gap of China’s carbon neutrality action through activities such as “Accelerating youth climate action”, “Forest Protection Action” and “ Tropical Rainforest biodiversity conservation action” and make a pilot for climate change education and sustainable development education in China and the world by empowering institutions and community residents, including women, children and youth, and contribute to the realization of the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in a bottom-up manner, including SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life below Water), SDG 15 (Life on Land) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). The project aims to promote youth capacity in innovation and communication skills. Moreover, it seeks to increase young people’s awareness on how to reduce carbon footprint, protecting the environment, conserving biodiversity and promoting man-nature harmony through education for sustainable development, climate change, environmental protection and global citizenship education. Additionally, the project aims to explore best practices that can be shared and applied internationally. 助力碳中和：可持续发展创新行动 Year of publication: 2024 Author: UNESCO Beijing 气候变化是跨越国界的全球性挑战。为了实现2030议程，各国必须采取紧急行动来 应对气候变化及其影响。中国政府高度重视气候变化问题，将应对气候变化纳入国 家经济社会发展的重大战略，把绿色低碳发展作为生态文明建设的重要内容，并承 诺将在2030年前实现碳达峰，在2060年前实现碳中和。可持续发展教育对于促进气候行动至关重要。 青少年是未来世界的创造者与建设者，秉承着“改变思维，而非气候”的理念，联合国教科文组织教借助其在教育、 科学、文化、传播和信息领域的强大网络，一直致力于加强青少年在气候变化方面 的能力建设。2022年6月， 在中国青少年发展基金会-梅赛德斯-奔驰星愿基金资助下 “助力碳中和：可持续发展创新行动”项目第一期（2022-2025年）正 式启动。 本项目将通过基于可持续发展教育开展的“助力青少年气候行 动”“森林保护行动”和“保护热带雨林生物多样性行动”等活动内容， 填补中国碳中和行动的重要空白，在切实推进气候变化教育和为师生气候 变化赋能的同时，为中国和世界的气候变化教育以及可持续发展教育做出 示范，以自下而上的方式助力联合国2030可持续发展目标，包括SDG13 （气候变化），SDG4（优质教育），SDG11（可持续的城市与社区）， SDG14（水下生态保护），SDG15 （陆地生态保护）和SDG17（伙伴 关系）等一系列目标的实现。项目 旨在促进青少年的能力建设、 知识交 流和技能创新， 通过可持续发展教 育、 气候变化教育、 环境教育和全 球公民教育， 提高青少年对减少碳 足迹、生态环境保护、生物多样性保 护、人与自然和谐共生的认知，并开 展可以在国际范围内共享和适用的良 好实践案例。
