Human Rights: Back to the Future (The UNESCO Courier no. 4, October-December 2018) Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO Benedetto Croce, Aldous Huxley, Humayun Kabir, Harold J. Laski, Lo Chung-Shu, Salvador de Madariaga, Jacques Maritain, F.S.C. Northrop, Arnold Schoenberg, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin – these are some of the contributors to this issue of the Courier. To mark the seventieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, adopted on 10 December 1948, we decided to take a detour into the past to enable us to better orient ourselves in the future. This explains the title of this issue: “Back to the Future”. Travelling back to 1946, when the world was grappling with the aftermath of the Second World War, “what kind of moral statement could the international community make that would adequately express its collective outrage and hope, however utopian, for a better future?” Mark Goodale discusses this massive international effort in his introductory article for our Wide Angle section, which he also guest-edited. The series of articles in this section uncovers a hitherto little-known part of the history of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights – the inquiry into the origins and philosophic bases of human rights. This initiative was decided upon during the first UNESCO General Conference (November-December 1946) and launched the following year by the Organization’s first Director-General, Julian Huxley. It was coordinated by the young French philosopher, Jacques Havet. For this project, UNESCO brought together leading intellectual figures of the post-war world, thus making an essential contribution to the reflection on human rights at the time. It remains amazingly relevant today. Equally relevant today are the drawings of Our Guest, the Peruvian artist Fernando Bryce, who derives his inspiration from this historic period “when the idea of progress was genuinely linked to a whole new perspective”. His series, The Book of Needs – which takes pages of the Courier between 1948 and 1954 and transforms them into works of art – is featured as a supplement in this issue. Derechos humanos: regreso al futuro (El Correo de la UNESCO no. 4, Octubre-Diciembre 2018) Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO Benedetto Croce, Aldous Huxley, Humayun Kabir, Harold J. Laski, Lo Chung-Shu, Salvador de Madariaga, Jacques Maritain, F. S. C. Northrop, Arnold Schoenberg, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin: estos son algunos de los colaboradores de este número de El Correo. Para conmemorar el 70 aniversario de la Declaración universal de los derechos humanos, adoptada el 10 de diciembre de 1948, decidimos hacer un recorrido por el pasado para orientarnos mejor en el futuro, lo cual explica el título de este número: “Regreso al futuro”. Nos encontramos pues en 1946. Mientras el espectro de la guerra mundial atormenta todas las conciencias, “la comunidad internacional necesita formular un enunciado moral que exprese adecuadamente su indignación colectiva y su esperanza (por utópica que fuese) de un futuro mejor”, explica Mark Goodale, autor del artículo introductorio y consultor para nuestra sección Gran angular. Una sección que desvela toda una parte desconocida de la historia de la Declaración universal de los derechos humanos: la encuesta mundial sobre los fundamentos filosóficos de los derechos del hombre, decidida durante la primera Conferencia General de la UNESCO (noviembre-diciembre de 1946), enviada el año siguiente por el primer Director General, Julian Huxley, y coordinada por el joven filósofo francés Jacques Havet. La UNESCO reunió en torno a este proyecto a la élite intelectual del mundo de la posguerra y aportó así una contribución fundamental a la reflexión sobre los derechos humanos. Una encuesta que aún hoy resulta de sorprendente actualidad. Igual de actuales son los dibujos de Nuestro invitado, el artista peruano Fernando Bryce, que encuentra su inspiración en este período histórico “donde la idea de progreso abría realmente múltiples perspectivas”. Su serie The Book of Needs (El libro de las necesidades), que transfigura en obras de arte algunas páginas de El Correo de los años 1948 - 1954, es objeto del suplemento de este número. 联合国教科文组织世界可持 续发展教育大会, 会议记录 Year of publication: 2009 Corporate author: German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) | German Commission for UNESCO As the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD) approached its midpoint, the “UNESCO World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development – Moving into the Second Half of the UN Decade” was held from 31 March to 2 April 2009 in Bonn, Germany.

Connections Between Environmental Justice, Popular Ecologism and Eco-citizenship Year of publication: 2006 Author: Nayla Naoufal Corporate author: Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) | Éditions en environnement VertigO Citizen movements connected to socio-ecological issues are increasing around the world : In the global North and South, people and communities are struggling against mining projects, against mega-projects, for the development of responsible and urban agriculture, against the inequities engendered by climate change, etc. This article examines historic and contemporary citizen movements linked to socio-ecological issues and underscores the evolution in their claims : Initially, environmental justice was exclusively reactive and focused on local cases of disproportional exposure to environmental problems ; today, it is also proactive, increasingly transnational and, in some cases, holistic. I also address the current of popular environmentalism and its links with environmental justice. Then, I probe environmental justice theoretical discourses and identify a framework that is relevant in light of contemporary struggles. Last, I present the concept of ecocitizenship, as well as a typology pertaining to this term, based on an exhaustive review of the scientific literature and on the study of ecocitizenships developed by young community gardeners. It appears that the ecocitizenship that is both critical and participative is of particular interest for environmental justice. Connexions entre la justice environnementale, l’écologisme populaire et l’écocitoyenneté Year of publication: 2006 Author: Nayla Naoufal Corporate author: Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) | Éditions en environnement VertigO Les mouvements citoyens liés à des problématiques socio-écologiques prennent de plus en plus d’ampleur à travers le monde : dans les « Nords » et dans les « Suds », des personnes et des communautés luttent contre des projets miniers, contre la construction de mégaprojets, pour le développement d’une agriculture urbaine et responsable, contre les inégalités générées par les changements climatiques, etc. Qu’ils soient historiques ou contemporains, cet article examine ces mouvements en s’attardant à l’évolution de leurs revendications. De réactive et basée sur des cas locaux d’exposition disproportionnelle aux problèmes environnementaux, la justice environnementale est devenue également proactive, de plus en plus transnationale et, dans certains cas, holistique. Je me penche également sur le courant de l’écologisme populaire et sur ses liens avec la justice environnementale. J’explore ensuite les fondements théoriques de la justice environnementale, ce qui permet d’identifier un cadre pertinent en la matière au regard des mobilisations contemporaine. J’analyse enfin le concept d’écocitoyenneté, présentant une typologie en la matière, en me basant sur une recension exhaustive de la littérature scientifique et sur l’étude des écocitoyennetés construites par des apprentis jardiniers en contexte communautaire. Il apparaît que la forme d’écocitoyenneté à la fois participative et critique contribue particulièrement à la justice environnementale. التربية من أجل التنمية المستدامة: كتاب مرجعي Year of publication: 2013 Corporate author: UNESCO The target audiences for the Education for Sustainable Development Sourcebook are primary and secondary teachers and mid-level decision-makers, who have responsibility for primary and secondary education.

Bien qu'il existe toute une gamme de matériels et de projets axés sur l'éducation relative à l'eau, ceux-ci ne sont pas bien reliés pour offrir des solutions personnalisées à chaque pays. Certaines des limitations identifiées avec l'éducation en matière d'eau existante incluent l'utilisation d'information périmée, biaisée ou non pertinente; Milieu pauvre d'instruction; Manque de continuité entre les différents niveaux de l'éducation relative à l'eau; Le manque d'intégration avec le programme d'études plus large et avec les connaissances locales; Manque de pertinence pratique pour les besoins locaux et communautaires; manque de ressources; Et les faibles liens avec les organismes professionnels disponibles sur place. Le programme sur l'éducation à l'eau est une initiative du Programme Hydrologique International (PHI) de l'UNESCO, Eau et éducation durable, axé sur une compréhension intégrée des processus biologiques et hydrologiques à l'échelle d'un bassin versant afin de créer une base scientifique pour une nouvelle, Rentable et systémique de la gestion durable des ressources en eau douce.
