This resource pack will give you some fun and creative ideas on how to get informed about the Sustainable Development Goals, to create active global citizens and do your bit for the planet. 
The United Nations World Water Development Report 2020: Water and Climate Change Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP) The 2020 edition of the UN World Water Development Report addresses the critical linkages between water and climate change in the context of sustainable development. It also serves as a guide for concrete actions to address these challenges. It outlines actions, supported by examples from across the world, in three areas: first, enabling people to adapt to the impacts of climate change; second, improving the resilience of livelihoods; and, third, reducing the drivers of climate change. Critically, measures to improve the efficiency of water use in agriculture is inextricably linked to multiple SDGs. These include those related to zero hunger (SDG 2), availability and access to water (SDG 6), climate action (SDG 13), and promoting the sustainable use of ecosystem services (SDG 15).The Report concludes that reducing both the impacts and drivers of climate change will require substantial changes in the way we use and reuse the Earth’s limited water resources. The experience and expertise needed to achieve this goal are brought together in the Report through UN-Water’s Members and Partners. It will support policy makers in tackling the challenges of climate change by harnessing the wide-ranging opportunities that improved water management offers for adaptation, mitigation and resilience in a rapidly changing world. Rapport mondial des Nations Unies sur la mise en valeur des ressources en eau 2020: l'eau et les changements climatiques Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP) L’édition 2020 du Rapport mondial sur la mise en valeur des ressources en eau montre les liens essentiels entre l’eau et les changements climatiques dans le cadre du développement durable. Le rapport sert également de guide pour prendre des mesures concrètes et relever ces défis. Il présente des actions, illustrées par des exemples provenant du monde entier, liées à trois domaines : premièrement, permettre aux personnes de s’adapter aux effets des changements climatiques ; deuxièmement, renforcer la résilience des moyens de subsistance ; enfin, réduire les moteurs des changements climatiques. Les mesures visant à accroître l’efficacité de l’utilisation de l’eau dans le domaine agricole – tout en garantissant l’accès à l’eau de groupes vulnérables tels que les petits exploitants agricoles – sont incontestablement liées à de multiples ODD. Il s’agit de ceux liés à l’objectif zéro faim (ODD 2), à la disponibilité et l’accès à l’eau (ODD 6), à l’action climatique (ODD 13) et à la promotion de l’utilisation durable des services écosystémiques (ODD 15).Le rapport conclut sur le fait que réduire tant les effets que les facteurs des changements climatiques exigera des transformations importantes dans la manière dont nous utilisons et réutilisons les ressources en eau limitées de la planète. L’expérience et l’expertise nécessaires pour atteindre cet objectif sont rassemblées dans ce rapport par les membres et partenaires d’ONU-Eau. Il contribuera à aider les dirigeants à lutter contre les difficultés liées aux changements climatiques en saisissant les vastes opportunités qu’offrent l’amélioration de la gestion de l’eau pour l’adaptation, la mitigation et la résilience dans un monde en rapide évolution. 
한반도 세계시민성 담론 연구 Year of publication: 2019 Author: 강순원 | 박명림 | 이우영 | 한경구 Corporate author: 유네스코한국위원회 유네스코한국위원회는 폭력과 갈등을 조장하는 이분법적 구도를 벗어나 서로의 다름을 이해하고 평화의 문화를 확산하는 새로운 포용 담론으로써 ‘한반도 세계시민성’의 가능성을 모색해보고자 합니다. 세계시민성은 지역의 문화적 맥락 속에서 추진될 때 그 사회 사람들에게 보다 쉽게 수용될 수 있습니다. 특히, 한반도처럼 분단이라는 특수한 환경을 가지고 있는 사회는 인류 보편적인 세계시민성을 어떻게 지역의 현실에 반영하고 지구적 현안을 어떻게 지역화 하느냐가 더욱 중요한 문제일 것입니다.한국은 분단 상황 속에서 점차 다문화사회로 변화하고 있습니다. 민족 동질성의 회복과 이질적 문화 수용이라는 이중적 과제를 안고 있는 것입니다. 분단은 한반도의 특수한 환경으로부터 비롯되었지만 오늘날 우리가 살아가는 세계의 상호의존적 맥락을 이해한다면 세계의 보편적 틀 안에서 한반도의 특수성을 담아낼 수 있는 새로운 포용 담론이 필요하다고 할 수 있습니다. ‘한반도 세계시민성 담론 연구’는 이런 배경에서 기획되었습니다.

The Role of UNESCO in the Search for Peace Year of publication: 2019 Author: Inuk Kang | Sunghae Kim | Jihon KIM | Jieun Seong | Seongsang YOO | Dongjoon Jo | Dongju Choi | Kyungkoo Han Corporate author: Korean National Commission for UNESCO UNESCO's international intellectual cooperation for peace has achieved substantive tangible results in education and culture. Though some problems have been politicized and have produced limitations along the way, UNESCO has played a leading role in education and culture while setting the direction of international cooperation and activities in this regard.UNESCO has regretfully not played an active role in fostering broader, more diverse, and more extensive new research and practices related to peace, even with the international Cold War realities. While UNESCO was an international organization created explicitly for peace, it has neither led to momentous peace-related academic discourse nor does it lead to theoretical development in this regard. The concept of a "Culture of Peace," for example, was first mentioned in the Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire) in 1989. However, it was not until 1997 that UNESCO started its "Toward a Culture of Peace Program" and the U.N. General Assembly declaring 2000 as the "Year of Peace."UNESCO's situation provides an opportunity for South Korea to play a more active role. South Korea needs to break with its history of taking a passive stance focused on short-term national interests and its preoccupation with "situational tracking" responses aimed at fostering national prestige when such opportunities present themselves. Instead, while prioritizing a "global community" founded on world peace and the well-being of humanity-as long-term shared benefits to all nations-and by sharing the financial burdens involved, the country can increase its international status and become a moral leader raising a "global citizenship power." 
[Summary] The United Nations World Water Development Report 2020: Water and Climate Change; Executive Summary Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP) The 2020 edition of the United Nations World Water Development Report (WWDR) addresses the critical linkages between water and climate change in the context of the broader sustainable development agenda. The report is not meant to be a purely technical examination of the impacts of climate change on the hydrological cycle. Rather, the report focuses on the challenges, opportunities and potential responses to climate change – in terms of adaptation, mitigation and improved resilience – that can be addressed through improving how water resources are management and used, while providing water supply and sanitation services for all in a sustainable manner. In doing so, the report tackles two of the most critical crises the world will continue facing over the next several decades: Water (in)security and climate change. [Résumé] Rapport mondial des Nations Unies sur la mise en valeur des ressources en eau 2020: l'eau et les changements climatiques; résumé Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP) L’édition 2020 du Rapport mondial sur la mise en valeur des ressources en eau (WWDR) montre les liens essentiels entre l’eau et les changements climatiques dans le cadre plus large du programme de développement durable. Le rapport n’est pas un examen purement technique des effets des changements climatiques sur le cycle de l’eau. Il s’agit plutôt d’énoncer les difficultés, les possibilités et les réponses potentielles aux changements climatiques – adaptation, atténuation et résilience renforcée – pouvant être abordées en améliorant la gestion et l’utilisation des ressources en eau et en offrant des services d’approvisionnement en eau et d’assainissement pour tous et de manière durable. Ce faisant, le rapport s’adresse à deux des plus graves crises que le monde continuera de subir au cours des prochaines décennies : la sécurité (ou insécurité) de l’eau et les changements climatiques. [Резюме] Всемирный доклад Организации Объединенных Наций о состоянии водных ресурсов, 2020 г.: водные ресурсы и изменение климата, Рабочее резюме Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP) В Докладе Организации Объединенных Наций о состоянии водных ресурсов мира (WWDR) за 2020 год рассматриваются критически важные связи между водными ресурсами и изменением климата в контексте более широкой повестки дня в области устойчивого развития. Отчет не предназначен для чисто технического изучения воздействия изменения климата на гидрологический цикл. Скорее, в докладе основное внимание уделяется проблемам, возможностям и потенциальным ответным мерам на изменение климата — с точки зрения адаптации, смягчения последствий и повышения устойчивости, — которые можно решить путем улучшения управления и использования водных ресурсов при обеспечении услуг водоснабжения и санитарии для всех. устойчивым образом. При этом в отчете рассматриваются два наиболее серьезных кризиса, с которыми мир будет сталкиваться в течение следующих нескольких десятилетий: водная (не)безопасность и изменение климата.
