The UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD 2005-2014): the first two years Year of publication: 2007 Corporate author: UNESCO The implementation of the DESD has made considerable progress since its international launch in March 2005. Apart from regional and national launches, progress has been achieved in both institutional and programmatic areas at international, regional and national levels. The objective of this report is not solely to highlight and showcase to Member States all that has been achieved in the two years since the international launch. The report also takes stock of on-going UNESCO initiatives, established prior to the Decade, which are providing major contributions to the implementation of the DESD, and thus cannot be by-passed. Equally important are the recommendations to remedy problems in the implementation of the DESD and strengthen those measures that are working efficiently.

Education for Sustainable Development means including key sustainable development issues into teaching and learning; for example, climate change, disaster risk reduction, biodiversity, poverty reduction, and sustainable consumption. It also requires participatory teaching and learning methods that motivate and empower learners to change their behaviour and take action for sustainable development. Education for Sustainable Development consequently promotes competencies like critical thinking, imagining future scenarios and making decisions in a collaborative way. Education for Sustainable Development requires far-reaching changes in the way education is often practised today. UNESCO is the lead agency for the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014). La contribución de la educación inicial para una sociedad sustentable Year of publication: 2009 Corporate author: Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO) This report originates from the international workshop, ‘The Role of Early Childhood Education for a Sustainable Society’, jointly organized in Göteborg, Sweden, by Göteborg University, Chalmers University of Technology and the City of Göteborg, from 2 to 4 May 2007. It was attended by thirty-five participants from sixteen different countries (see ‘List of Participants’). The workshop was a follow-up to the international conference on education for sustainable development, ‘Learning to Change Our World’, held in May 2004, in Göteborg. It was one of four preparatory workshops leading to another international conference on education for sustainable development, to be organized in 2008 or 2009, in the same city. The aim of the four workshops is to discuss promoters and barriers related to learning for sustainability, and to propose recommendations for the upcoming international conference. The present workshop was conceived for the following reasons. First, our societies urgently require new kinds of education that can help prevent further degradation of our planet, and that foster caring and responsible citizens genuinely concerned with and capable of contributing to a just and peaceful world. Second, these new kinds of education must be available to all – not only a handful of people – and take place in various settings, including families and communities. Third, they must begin in early childhood, as the values, attitudes, behaviours and skills acquired in this period may have a long-lasting impact in later life. Thus, early childhood education clearly has an important place in the efforts to bring about sustainable development. 
La contribution de l'éducation de la petite enfance à une société durable Year of publication: 2008 Corporate author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO) Ce rapport provient de l'atelier international, «Le rôle de l'éducation de la petite enfance pour une société durable», organisé conjointement à Göteborg, en Suède, par l'Université de Göteborg, Chalmers University of Technology et la ville de Göteborg, du 2 au 4 mai 2007. Il a réuni trente-cinq participants de seize pays différents (voir «Liste des participants»). L'atelier a été suivi à l'éducation de internationalconférenceon pour le développement durable, «Apprendre à changer notre monde», tenue en mai 2004, à Göteborg. Il était l'un des quatre ateliers préparatoires menant à une autre éducation internationalconférenceon pour le développement durable, qui sera organisée en 2008 ou 2009, dans la même ville. L'objectif des quatre ateliers est de discuter des promoteurs et des obstacles liés à l'apprentissage de la durabilité, et de proposer des recommandations pour la prochaine conférence internationale. Le présent atelier a été conçu pour les raisons suivantes. Tout d'abord, nos sociétés ont un besoin urgent de nouveaux types d'éducation qui peuvent aider à prévenir une nouvelle dégradation de notre planète, et qui favorisent les soins et les citoyens responsables véritablement concernés par et capables de contribuer à un monde juste et pacifique. Deuxièmement, ces nouvelles formes d'éducation doivent être aCECssibles à tous - non seulement une poignée de gens - et se déroulent dans divers milieux, y compris les familles et les communautés. Troisièmement, ils doivent commencer au début de l'enfance, comme les valeurs, les attitudes, les comportements et les compétences acquises dans cette période peuvent avoir un impact durable dans la vie plus tard. Ainsi, l'éducation de la petite enfance a clairement une place importante dans les efforts pour parvenir à un développement durable.
