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.

All human beings... a manual for human rights education Year of publication: 1998 Author: Kaisa Savolainen | Francine Best | Patrice Meyer-Bisch | Betty Reardon Corporate author: UNESCO The World Conference on Human Rights (Vienna, 1993) took the position that human rights education, training and public information were essential in order to create and promote stable and harmonious relations among different communities and to foster mutual understanding, tolerance and peace.UNESCO has prepared this Manual for Human Rights Education as a contribution to the fiftieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10 December 1998 and to the United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education (1995–2004). While intended mainly for educators, it may also be useful to secondary-school students and in the context of non-formal education.The Manual is the result of teamwork, with participation by numerous educators and experts from various regions of the world. A preliminary version was submitted to the delegates of UNESCO Member States at the 29th session of the Organization’s General Conference and has since been tested in several schools throughout the world.The Manual is addressed to primary- and secondary-school teachers and to instructors in non-formal education for children and adults. It is a teaching aid providing both theory and practical advice. However, parts of it can be used directly, without any teacher, by young people from the age of 14 upwards.Part 1 sets out an approach to the concepts essential if human rights education is to be rigorous, have a scientific basis, expand knowledge and promote thought. This part is to be read by teachers who wish to impart human rights education. It can be understood by secondary students aged 14 and over. It incorporates the basic components of the Declaration and Integrated Framework of Action on Education for Peace, Human Rights and Democracy (1994).Part 2 is addressed to schoolteachers and those in positions of responsibility. It is essentially a tool for teaching. It opens up avenues, makes suggestions and gives advice on how all educational disciplines can embrace the objectives inherent in human rights education. Obviously all teachers are free, in the light of their own cultures and individual pedagogical choices, to invent and create approaches and situations different from those suggested here.Part 3 presents a number of pedagogical examples that have been tried out and that provide an approach for educational work concerning a specific right. The plan follows that of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which is quoted and referred to at length. This part may be regarded as an educational demonstration of the features of this declaration, the fiftieth anniversary of which is being celebrated by UNESCO and the United Nations in 1998.All teachers and organizers can be guided by the experiments presented here to encourage information, training and reflection. There is no need to follow any particular order. As the need arises, a particular right (such as the right to health care or the right to live in a well-balanced environment) can be introduced before or after another right, or the focus may be on a single right.The Manual does not seek to be exhaustive but rather to propose material which can be developed and supplemented in an ongoing process. It will be for educators and learners, in their own cultural contexts, to discover how human rights can acquire meaning in their daily lives.
