Learning to mitigate and adapt to climate change: UNESCO and climate change education Year of publication: 2009 Corporate author: UNESCO This report is a result of the UNESCO International Seminar on Climate Change Education at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, 27-29 July, 2009. Over the past 30 years, UNESCO has actively contributed to building the global knowledge base on climate change. Primarily through its contribution to climate science (global ocean observation systems, assessment and monitoring) and secondarily by promoting education, capacity development, public awareness and access to information. As Task Manager of Chapter 36 of Agenda 21 – which relates to the promotion of education, public awareness and training – and lead agency for the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD, 2005-2014), the Organization plays a lead role in promoting Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Climate change is one of the key action themes of the Decade, as was reaffirmed at the World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development held in Bonn in April 2009. Education has a central role to play in understanding, mitigating and adapting to the changing climate. While education at all levels and in both formal and informal settings is needed, instilling climate change awareness and understanding at a young age is ultimately the best way to change behaviours and attitudes. What children learn today will shape tomorrow’s world. Through the New Delhi work programme – which is a flexible programme for country-driven action engaging all stakeholders on education, training and public awareness on climate change, UNESCO supports its Member States to implement Article 6 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Similarly, the UNESCO Enhanced Plan of Action for the Strategy for Action on Climate Change recognizes the importance of and outlines action for education in promoting mitigation of and adaptation to climate change. Favoriser des collectivités sûres et solides: un programme d'éducation à la préparation aux catastrophes naturelles et le changement climatique Year of publication: 2009 Corporate author: UNESCO Jakarta L'Asie et la région du Pacifique est vulnérable à de nombreuses catastrophes naturelles et les impacts attendus du changement climatique. En 2006, 74% des personnes tuées par des catastrophes naturelles ont été en Asie, avec l'Afghanistan, l'Inde, l'Indonésie, le Pakistan, les Philippines et le Vietnam parmi les pays les plus durement touchés. Les catastrophes naturelles telles que les tempêtes, les inondations, les sécheresses, les tremblements de terre en combinaison avec des conditions d'origine humaine telles que la déforestation, la pollution, l'érosion des sols contribuent collectivement aux défis graves pour les communautés et les gouvernements. les impacts du changement climatique sont imminente et inévitable. Le consensus entre les sciences naturelles et sociales, les économistes et les décideurs est que le changement climatique est le défi le plus important que cette planète est confrontée. Il est omniprésent, touchant à toutes les facettes de l'environnement et de la vie humaine, y compris l'environnement, l'économie, le transport, la communication, la production de l'alimentation et de la santé. L'échelle temporelle et géographique est large. La projection économique, la santé et les coûts sociaux mis en avant par les experts sont extraordinaires. Par exemple, le coût économique total des menaces du changement climatique pourrait être une perte annuelle de 6-7% du PIB des pays d'Asie du Sud-Est de la fin du siècle, et la sous-région du Pacifique verra une élévation du niveau de la mer de 0.19- 0,58 mètre d'ici 2100 modifiant gravement la vie de plus de 50% des personnes qui vivent à moins de 1,5 km de la côte menant à des pénuries de réinstallation, de l'eau et d'énergie, et l'infrastructure submergée. les impacts du changement climatique en Asie et dans le Pacifique est particulièrement grave en raison du fait que: 1) plus de 60% de la population mondiale réside en Asie et dans le Pacifique; 2) il a le littoral le plus étendu de toute région géographique; et 3) plusieurs des plus grandes villes du monde sont situés le long des côtes d'Asie. L'impact du changement climatique en élévation du niveau marin aurait un impact sur les petits États insulaires comme les Maldives et Kiribati, et bon nombre des plus grandes villes côtières d'Asie, telles que Jakarta, Bangkok, Manille, Shanghai, et Ho Chi Minh-Ville. Des dizaines de millions de personnes en Asie peuvent être réinstallés. En outre, la plus grande intensité attendue des cyclones et typhons pourrait avoir un impact plus important que jamais sur le Bangladesh, la Chine, l'Inde, le Vietnam et les Philippines, dont les zones côtières déjà rencontrer parmi les plus liés aux conditions météorologiques catastrophes année du monde après année. Pièces de nombreux pays d'Asie, y compris le Nord-Ouest de l'Inde, la Chine occidentale, et la quasi-totalité du Pakistan, souffrent déjà d'une pénurie d'eau, ainsi que la dégradation des terres et la désertification, qui sera encore aggravé par le changement climatique. La conférence mondiale sur la prévention des catastrophes, tenue en Janvier 2005 à Kobe, au Japon, a adopté le Cadre d'action 2005-2015: Renforcer la résilience des nations et des collectivités face aux catastrophes (dénommé le «Cadre d'action de Hyogo» - HFA). Le cadre met l'aCECnt sur la nécessité de comprendre les liens entre la réduction des risques et adaptation au changement climatique, et que les parties prenantes travaillent en vue de réduire la vulnérabilité aux catastrophes des communautés en les aidant à renforcer leur capacité à faire face aux catastrophes.

التقرير العالمي لرصد التعليم 2019: التقرير عن المسائل الجنسانية; بناء الجسور لتحقيقالمساواة بين الجنسين Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team يمثل تحقيق المساواة بين الجنسين من حيث الالتحاق بالمدرسة والمشاركة في عمليات التعليم والتعلم والاستفادة من الفرص الاقتصادية والاجتماعية التي يمكن أن يتيحها التعليم طموحات أساسية مترابطة لهدفين من أهداف التنمية المستدامة المحددة في خطة التنمية المستدامة لعام 2030 ، هما: هدف التنمية المستدامة 4 الخاص بالتعليم وهدف التنمية المستدامة 5 الخاص بالمساواة بين الجنسين. وهذان الهدفان ضروريان أيضاً لتحقيق برنامج "التعليم حتى عام 2030 إطار العمل لتحقيق الهدف الرابع من أهداف التنمية المستدامة" الذي يدعو البلدان إلى اعتماد استراتيجيات لا تتطرق فقط إلى انتفاع الجميع بالتعليم بل تتناول أيضاً قضايا جوهرية تتعلق بالمساواة بين الجنسين منها: "دعم السياسات والخطط وبيئات التعلّم المراعية لقضايا الجنسين، وبتعميم مراعاة قضايا الجنسين في إعداد المعلمين وفي المناهج الدراسية، وبالقضاء على التمييز والعنف القائمين على نوع الجنس في المدارس".ويستند التقرير عن المسائل الجنسانية لعام 2019 إلى إطار رصد اعتُمد أول مرة في التقرير العالمي لرصد التعليم لعام 2016 . وهذا الإطار، فضلاً عن تركيزه على التكافؤ بين الجنسين في المشاركة في التعليم والتحصيل الدراسي والنتائج الدراسية، يدرس الظروف الاقتصادية والاجتماعية العامة )المعايير الجنسانية والمؤسسات( وسمات نظام التعليم الرئيسية )القوانين والسياسات وممارسات التعليم والتعلم وبيئات التعلم والموارد(. ويبحث الإطار أيضاً العلاقة القائمة بين التعليم ومجموعة مختارة من النتائج الاقتصادية والاجتماعية. فالتحرك باتجاه تحقيق التكافؤ بين الجنسين على مستوى التحصيل الدراسي، على سبيل المثال، يؤدي إلى ارتفاع معدلات مشاركة المرأة في القوة العاملة، غير أن مشاركتها هذه، إذا كانت منخفضة المستوى، تعزز المعايير السائدة وتحول دون زيادة فرص التعليم التي يمكن أن تتاح لها.
