Défis 2030: un agenda pour tous Year of publication: 2017 Since 1948, the UNESCO Courier has served as a platform for international debates on issues that concern the entire planet. This first issue of 2017, which marks the Courier’s revival after
a five-year break, is no exception to the rule: experts, public figures, artists and journalists from around the world have come together to discuss topical issues.Climate change and sustainable energy (p. 23), the future of cities and Smart Cities (p. 15), access to water and the state of groundwater (p. 19), educational policies and the importance they give to girls (p. 8), new technologies and their role in establishing efficient democratic institutions (p. 27), alliances and partnerships that must be forged to advance towards a better world
(p. 31) — these are some of the subjects that constitute the main dossier,
Wide angle, of this issue dedicated to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).UNESCO is closely associated with the development and implementation of this international road map that aims
to achieve the seventeen objectives established by the UN, which is convinced that culture, though officially absent from the SDGs, is at the heart of sustainable development policies (p. 12). Elyx, the jovial character created by Yacine Ait Kaci (YAK) and designated virtual ambassador of the UN, supports the Courier in its mission to make palpable the different realities around the world.

Gender Inequality in Learning Achievement in Primary Education: What can TERCE Tell Us? Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: UNESCO Santiago Existing research identifies several significant, subject-based gender inequalities in education. Male learners have significant advantages in mathematics and female learners have no less significant advantages in reading and writin. Such considerable differences in achievement may have important consequences for the future wellbeing of students. In order to shed light on this phenomenon in Latin America, this report analyzes the gender gaps in educational achievement in the Third Regional Comparative and Explanatory Study (TERCE) led by the Latin American Laboratory for Assessment of the Quality of Education (LLECE). Inequidad de género en los logros de aprendizaje en educación primaria ¿Qué nos puede decir TERCE?

Образование и изменение климата: Научиться действовать в интересах людей и планеты Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team | Monitoring and Evaluating Climate Communication and Education Project (MECCE) | University of Sakatchewan Как образование может стимулировать деятельность в связи с изменением климата?Несмотря на убедительные факты, свидетельствующие о влиянии образования на достижение других результатов в области развития и о его роли в укреплении профессионального потенциала для перехода к устойчивому развитию, образование зачастую не учитывается при рассмотрении другими секторами вопросов, касающихся стратегических аспектов, политики, планирования и финансирования. В рамках Всемирного доклада по мониторингу образования предлагается новая серия публикаций, призванных содействовать диалогу на тему взаимосвязи образования с другими целями в области устойчивого развития.Первая публикация в этой серии посвящена изменению климата. Сначала в ней рассматривается растущее влияние изменения климата на образование, а затем – роль образования в деятельности в области климата. Вклад образования в развитие профессионального потенциала для перехода к «зеленой» экономике во многом недооценен. Принято считать, что формальное, неформальное и информальное обучение также играют важнейшую роль в создании мотивации для действий по смягчению последствий изменения климата и адаптации к ним.Однако положительная корреляция между уровнем образования и неустойчивыми моделями потребления, а также неоднозначность многих исследований на тему непосредственного влияния образования на меры по адаптации к изменению климата и смягчению его последствий, в некоторой степени способствуют тому, что образованию уделяется недостаточно внимания в глобальных и национальных программах действий в области изменения климата.В настоящей публикации показано, что для успешной реализации потенциала образования в области изменения климата его необходимо адаптировать. Парадигма образования не может быть основана только лишь на передаче знаний – она должна быть нацелена на формирование социально-эмоциональных навыков и обучение, ориентированное на действия.Значительная доля проведенных исследований посвящена влиянию уровня образования и когнитивного обучения, в связи с чем требуется проведение дополнительных исследований для оценки других факторов, позволяющих образованию оказывать воздействие на модели поведения и создавать мотивацию для деятельности в связи с изменением климата. Такие исследования необходимы для разработки эффективных пакетов образовательных реформ, направленных на совершенствование учебных программ, повышение готовности школ и систем образования к изменению климата, обеспечение вовлеченности учащихся и соответствующую подготовку педагогов. 
2024 State of Climate Services: Five-year Progress Report (2019–2024) Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: World Meteorological Organization (WMO) In 2018, the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement at the 24th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) called on WMO, through its Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS), to regularly report on the state of climate services. WMO has issued annual reports on the state of climate services since 2019 in response to this United Nations request for more information on the adaptation needs of countries. The information helps countries, funding agencies and development partners to identify steps needed to address climate services gaps and needs, to inform more effective investment and to enhance adaptation and development outcomes. The 2024 edition of the report describes the current state of climate services while also examining and assessing the progress that has been made during the last five years. The report explores the climate policy response to the climate challenge and advancements made by Members across numerous value chain components. This year’s edition also includes an in-depth look at how a selection of 13 countries have successfully leveraged climate services to deliver socioeconomic benefits at a national, regional or global level. The analysis draws on 113 case studies that were developed over the last five years across multiple sectors, and examines the key success factors, including showcasing the value being created by climate services. 
教育与气候变化 学会为造福人类和地球而行动 Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team | Monitoring and Evaluating Climate Communication and Education Project (MECCE) | University of Sakatchewan 教育如何促成气候变化行动？尽管有强有力的证据表明教育可以影响其他发展成果，并在培养促进可持续发展转型的专业能力方面发挥着重要作用，但在其他部门的战略、政策、规划和筹资考量中，却常常看不到教育的踪影。《全球教育监测报告》现推出一个新的出版物系列，以推动关于教育与其他可持续发展目标之间相互关系的对话。该系列的第一份出版物聚焦气候变化。其中首先分析了气候变化对教育日渐增强的影响，随后探讨了教育在气候行动中的作用。教育在培养促进向绿色经济转型的专业能力方面的贡献，在某种程度上未得到充分重视。人们普遍认为，正规、非正规和非正式学习在推动采取减缓和适应气候变化的行动方面也发挥着关键作用。然而，由于受教育程度与不可持续的消费水平之间存在正相关关系，而且关于教育对气候变化适应和减缓行动的直接影响方面的许多研究尚无定论，这在一定程度上导致教育在全球和国家气候变化议程中不受重视。本出版物认为，需要对气候变化教育作出调整，以充分发挥其潜力。教育模式不能仅仅依靠知识传授，还需要注重社会情感和行动导向学习。大部分研究都侧重于受教育程度和认知学习的影响。因此，需要开展更多研究，以评估教育还可以借由哪些其他驱动因素来影响行为并推动气候变化行动。需要借助此类研究来制定可行的教育改革方案，以完善课程设置，加强学校和教育系统的气候行动准备工作，让学习者参与进来，并使教育工作者做好相应的准备。 2024기후서비스현황: 5년경과보고서 (2019–2024) Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: World Meteorological Organization (WMO) 2018년 유엔기후변화협약 (UNFCCC) 제24차 당사국 총회에서 파리협정 당사국 회의를 주재하는 총회 (COP)는 WMO가 기후서비스를 위한 글로벌 프레임워크 (GFCS)를 통해 기후 서비스 현황을 정기적으로 보고할 것을 촉구했습니다.WMO는 UNFCCC COP의 국가 적응 요구 사항에 대한 추가 정보 요청에 따라 2019년부터 기후 서비스 현황에 대한 연례 보고서를 발간했습니다.2 제공된 정보는 국가, 자금 기관 및 개발 파트너가 기후서비스 격차와 요구사항을 해결하는 데 필요한 단계를 식별하고, 보다 효과적인 투자를 알리고, 적응 및 개발 결과를 개선하는 데 도움이 됩니다. 2024년판 보고서는 기후 서비스의 현재 상태를 설명하는 동시에 지난 5년 동안 이루어진 진전을 조사하고 평가합니다. 이 보고서는 기후 문제에 대한 기후 정책 대응과 기후 서비스 가치 사슬 전반에 걸쳐 국가 기상 및 수문 서비스 (NMHSs)가 이룬 진전을 살펴봅니다. 올해의 에디션에는 13개국이 기후서비스를 성공적으로 사용하여 국가, 지역 또는 글로벌 수준에서 사회 경제적 혜택을 제공한 방법에 대한 심층적인 조사도 포함됩니다. 이 분석은 지난 5년 동안 여러 부문에 걸쳐 개발된 113개의 사례 연구를 기반으로 하며, 주요 지원 요소를 조사하고, 기후 서비스가 창출하는 가치를 보여줍니다.
