Égalité hommes-femmes vs conscience environnementale: Scène de ménage inéluctable ou convergence des luttes ? Year of publication: 2018 Author: Solène Houzé Réduire son empreinte environnementale est un souci qui gagne chaque jour davantage de citoyens. On essaye de faire de son mieux, pour soi et pour la planète. Cela demande une adaptation pour toute une série de tâches domestiques et de gestes quotidiens (choix de l’alimentation, moyens de transports, zéro déchet, produits d’entretiens naturels, etc.). À l’heure où la répartition des tâches domestiques est encore bien souvent inégalement partagée entre hommes et femmes, il est légitime de s’interroger sur la pression qu’exerce la conscience écologique sur le quotidien des femmes au sein de la sphère privée. Les enjeux des rapports de genre se mêlent alors aux enjeux environnementaux. L’écoféminisme est un courant de pensée qui veut analyser le rapprochement entre ces deux combats. Quels sont donc les fondements de ce mouvement et comment l’action au quotidien pour la nature et le climat s’inscrit-elle dans les analyses écoféministes ? Cette analyse invite donc à discuter des bases genrées nécessaires à une transition verte et durable dans toutes ses dimensions.
Asia-Pacific Spotlight Report on SDG 4 Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: Asia South Pacific Association for Basic and Adult Education (ASPBAE) ASPBAE believes that civil society must actively engage in the SDG process since we all have a stake in making sure that all the goals and targets are realised by 2030. Drawing on the spotlight reports of various national education coalitions in the Asia-Pacific region, this report is ASPBAE’s modest contribution to present the civil society analysis and perspective in the SDG/SDG 4 progress and implementation. At the same time, it highlights the concerns and aspirations of the most marginalised and excluded groups. In this regard, we urge the United Nations and all Member States to collectively reaffirm the earlier commitment made to reach the furthest behind first, ensuring that no one is left behind by 2030.
Achieving SDG4 for Children and Youth Affected by Crisis Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) With the Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4), the global community committed to ensuring a quality education for all children and youth. Despite this promise, children and youth in crisis contexts continue to be neglected. We will never achieve SDG4 unless all children and youth affected by conflict and crisis are able to access and attend school and learn in a quality, safe, relevant and inclusive education environment. There is an urgent need for governments and the international community to make and adhere to political, financial and legal commitments if we truly are to leave no child behind. This brief offers recommendations for addressing the disparities in safe, quality, inclusive education for children affected by crisis. It begins by highlighting key areas for policy and practice, and looks at ways to use the various tools developed by the Inter-agency Network of Education in Emergencies (INEE). It takes a look at overall themes and trends, as well as the specific issues of gender disparities, the importance of supporting teachers, children’s psycho-social wellbeing and the protection and safety of education in conflict.
Policy brief: rethinking schooling for the 21st century Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) Analysing how far the ideals of SDG 4.7 are embodied in policies and curricula across 22 Asian countries, this study establishes benchmarks against which future progress can be assessed. It also argues forcefully that we must redefine the purposes of schooling, addressing the fundamental challenges to efforts to promote peace, sustainability and global citizenship through education.
Rethinking schooling: annual report 2018 Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) Calls to gear up schools for the 21st century are ubiquitous today. Some Asian education systems are held up as models for an innovation-led utopian future. Across much of Asia, however, neither the reality of schooling nor the patterns of development with which it is associated give cause for blithe optimism. This study is informed by UNESCO’s commitment to realizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through educational reform worldwide. Since its inception, UNESCO has championed a humanistic vision of education (UNESCO, 2015)—a vision today encapsulated in SDG 4.7. These ideals need to be strongly restated and defended in an era when educational debate has come to be framed by a narrowly economistic and instrumentalist agenda. Deriving urgent significance from this broader context, the Rethinking Schooling report analyses how far the ideals of SDG 4.7 are embodied in policies and curricula across 22 Asian countries (UNESCO MGIEP, 2017a). The report seeks to develop benchmarks against which future progress can be assessed. It also argues forcefully that the fundamental purposes of schooling need to be reconfigured, if the ideals to which the global community has subscribed are actually to be realized.
Implementation of sustainable development goals in the SPECA region Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) This study is aimed at analyzing the links between the work on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the national framework of countries participating in the UN Special Program for the Economies of Central Asia (SPECA) and identifying areas in which the cooperation of these countries in the framework of SPECA will be useful. The analysis will lead to policy recommendations on how regional cooperation within SPECA can contribute to progress in the implementation of the SDGs.
