Sandwatch: adaptar-se à mudança climática e educar para o desenvolvimento sustentável Year of publication: 2012 Author: Gillian Cambers | Paul Diamond Corporate author: UNESCO Sandwatch provides a framework for children, youth and adults, with the help of teachers and local communities, to work together to critically evaluate the problems and conflicts facing their beach environments, and to develop sustainable approaches to address these issues. It also helps beaches become more resilient to climate change. The preliminary chapters of this publication focus on how to get started with Sandwatch activities and examine ways to address climate change impacts. The principle aim of this publication is to document the Sandwatch methodology: monitoring, analysing, sharing and taking action. An activities-orientated approach is used to provide step-by-step instructions to cover monitoring methods and data analysis, including observation and recording, erosion and accretion, beach composition, human activities, beach debris, water quality, waves, longshore currents, plants and animals. The activities are related to (a) sustainable development issues, including: beach ownership, mining beaches for construction material, conflict resolution between different beach users, pollution, conservation of endangered species, and (b) climate change adaptation issues: sea level rise, rising temperatures, ocean acidification and increased extreme events. Ways to share findings and create a Sandwatch network are detailed including methods such as the use of local media, websites, social networking and video production. Finally, ways are discussed to design, plan and implement a Sandwatch project to fulfill one or all of the following criteria: (a) addressing a particular beach-related issue, (b) enhancing the beach, and (c) promoting climate change adaptation. Sandwatch stands as an example of Education for Sustainable Development in action, and is being targeted as one of several flagship projects for the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005–2014). As the world confronts the growing threat of climate change, Sandwatch presents an opportunity to help people and ecosystems respond to present and future changes in a practical manner. Beaches are among the ecosystems most at risk from climate change as they face rising sea levels and increased more intense storms. By contributing to ecosystem health and resilience, Sandwatch can help people from all walks of life learn about climate change and how their actions can contribute to the adaptation process.

Apprendre à s'adapter au changement climatique et à atténuer ses effets: l'UNESCO et l'éducation au changement climatique Year of publication: 2009 Corporate author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (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.

Apprendre à atténuer et adapter au changement climatique: l'UNESCO et éducation au changement climatique Year of publication: 2009 Corporate author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO) Ce rapport est le résultat du séminaire international de l'UNESCO sur le changement climatique Education au Siège de l'UNESCO à Paris, 27-29 Juillet 2009. Au cours des 30 dernières années, l'UNESCO a contribué activement à la construction de la base de connaissances mondiale sur le changement climatique. Principalement au moyen de sa contribution à la science du climat (systèmes d'observation des océans mondiaux, l'évaluation et suivi) et secondairement par l'éducation la promotion, le développement des capacités, la sensibilisation du public et l'accès à l'information. Comme le Gestionnaire des tâches du chapitre 36 d'Action 21 - qui a trait à la promotion de l'éducation, la sensibilisation du public et de la formation - et organisme chef de file pour la Décennie des Nations Unies pour l'éducation au développement durable (DEDD, 2005-2014), l'Organisation joue un rôle de premier plan dans la promotion de l'éducation pour le développement durable (EDD). Le changement climatique est l'un des thèmes d'action clés de la Décennie, comme cela a été réaffirmé à l'éducation Worldconférenceon pour le développement durable tenu à Bonn en Avril 2009. L'éducation a un rôle central à jouer dans la compréhension, atténuation et l'adaptation au changement climatique. Alors que l'éducation à tous les niveaux et dans les deux contextes formels et informels est nécessaire, instillant la sensibilisation au changement climatique et de la compréhension à un jeune âge est finalement la meilleure façon de changer les comportements et les attitudes. Qu'est-ce que les enfants apprennent aujourd'hui façonneront le monde de demain. Grâce au programme de travail de New Delhi - qui est un programme d'action souple axée sur les pays engageant toutes les parties prenantes sur l'éducation, la formation et la sensibilisation du public sur le changement climatique, l'UNESCO soutient ses États membres à mettre en œuvre l'article 6 de la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques. De même, le Plan UNESCO amélioré d'action pour la Stratégie d'action sur les changements climatiques reconnaît l'importance et présente action pour l'éducation dans la promotion de l'atténuation et l'adaptation au changement climatique. Образование в интересах устойчивого развития (ОУР): строительство нового, более справедливого мира в XXI веке Year of publication: 2012 Corporate author: Организация Объединенных Наций по вопросам образования, науки и культуры (UNESCO) Education for Sustainable Development allows every human being to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values necessary to shape a sustainable future. 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).
