Rapport mondial des Nations Unies sur la mise en valeur des ressources en eau 2016: l'eau et l'emploi Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: UNESCO Three out of four jobs worldwide rely on water. As such, water shortages and lack of access may limit economic growth in the years to come, according to the World Water Development Report 2016. From its collection, through various uses, to its ultimate return to the natural environment, water is a key factor in the development of job opportunities either directly related to its management (supply, infrastructure, wastewater treatment, etc.) or in economic sectors that are heavily water-dependent such as agriculture, fishing, power, industry and health. In its analysis of the economic impact of access to water, the report cites numerous studies that show a positive correlation between investments in the water sector and economic growth. It also highlights the key role of water in the transition to a green economy. 
Embracing a Culture of Lifelong Learning: Contribution to the Futures of Education Initiative Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) This report, a contribution to UNESCO's Futures of Education initiative, reflects on the potential contribution of lifelong learning both in transforming the field of education and in creating a more sustainable, healthy and inclusive future. Drawing on the insights of 12 distinguished experts from different disciplines and countries, the report presents a compelling vision for lifelong learning and the values and principles that must underpin it. It calls on the international community to acknowledge the social and private dimensions of education, and to recognize lifelong learning as a new human right. Realizing this vision, it argues, requires adopting a transdisciplinary approach that can effectively grasp the complex, multidimensional nature of the challenges faced by humanity. The report outlines the main features of the ‘enabling environment’ needed to make lifelong learning the governing principle of education policy and to offer people opportunities to learn throughout life, whatever their background or context. It concludes with a set of key messages, complemented by specific action points and a discussion of selected policy measures. 평생학습 문화 수용하기: '교육의 미래' 이니셔티브에 대한 기여 Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) 유네스코 ‘교육의 미래’ 이니셔티브의 일환으로 발간되는 이 보고서는 교육 분야를 변화시키고, 보다 지속가능하고 건강하며 포용적인 미래를 만들기 위해 이루어진 평생학습의 잠재적 기여를 고찰하고 있다. 이 보고서는 서로 다른 분야와 국가에서 온 12명의 저명한 전문가들의 통찰력을 바탕으로, 평생학습에 대한 확고한 비전과 이를 뒷받침하는 가치와 원칙을 제시한다. 아울러, 교육의 사회적⋅개인적 차원을 인식하고, 평생학습을 새로운 인권으로 인정할 것을 국제사회에 요청하고 있다.이 보고서는 평생학습의 비전을 실현하기 위해서는 인류가 당면한 도전과제의 복잡하고 다차원적인 성격을 효과적으로 파악할 수 있는 초학제적 접근방식을 채택해야 한다고 주장한다. 이 책의 구성은 평생학습을 교육 정책의 주요 원칙으로 삼고, 배경이나 여건에 관계없이 모든 사람들에게 전 생애에 걸쳐 학습 기회를 제공할 수 있는 ‘우호적인 환경’의 주요 특징을 요약하고 있다. 그리고 일련의 주요 메시지를 결론으로 제시하고, 구체적인 행동 방침과 선정된 정책 조치를 보완적으로 논의하고 있다.

L’éducation, levier majeur et point aveugle de la transition vers des sociétés durables Year of publication: 2015 Author: Pierre Calame Corporate author: Alliance pour des Sociétés Responsable et Durables La crise ne met pas seulement en question la gouvernance du monde, l’incapacité politique des Etats à coopérer pour gérer ces relations. Elle trouve son origine dans notre représentation du monde et de la place des sociétés humaines au sein de la biosphère. Elle interpelle notre capacité à comprendre et assumer la complexité, à penser et agir dès lors que les relations entre les êtres et entre les choses deviennent plus importantes que chacun pris séparément. C’est pourquoi l’éducation se retrouve en première ligne.
