미래의 위험에 대처하기 위한 인문사회적 상상력의 필요성: 코로나 판데믹과 미래 문해력을 중심으로 (Future Horizon Plus 제45권 제2호) Year of publication: 2020 Author: 최항섭 Corporate author: 과학기술정책연구원 미래문해력은 자신이 현재의 생존문제를 해결하는 것 때문에 전체 사회의 생존에 있어 미래의 변화에 대한 필요성을 잘 인식하지 못하는 개인 혹은 조직에게 필요한 역량이다.또한 미래문해력은 조직 구성원들로부터 얻는 현재의 인기와 명성보다는 전체 사회가 미래에 지속가능한 발전을 이룩할 수 있도록 하는 정책과 전략을 제시해야 하는 국가리더들에게도 가치가 있다. 국민들이 당장은 불편함을 호소해도 이러한 방법이 미래의 지속성을 위해서 필요하다고 믿게 하는 능력이 요구되기 때문이다.인문사회적 상상력은 미래에 대해서도 단순히 ‘밝은 미래-어두운 미래’라는 이분법으로 문제에 접근하는 것을 극복하게 한다. 인간과 자연의 공존, 개인과 공동체의 상생이라는 가치를 중심으로 하는 인문사회적 상상력은 나의 행위가 어떻게 타인의 행위로 이어지며, 이것이 전체 공동체의 미래에 어떠한 영향을 주어 결국 나의 삶에 어떠한 영향을 줄 것이라는 것을 그리게 해준다. 
Mainstreaming SDG4-Education 2030 in sector-wide policy and planning: technical guidelines for UNESCO field offices Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: UNESCO The main responsibility for implementing the SDG4-Education 2030 Agenda lies with governments, with UNESCO and partners providing support through coordinated policy advice, technical assistance, capacity development and monitoring of progress at global, regional and national levels. By their position, UNESCO field offices have a key role to play in providing such support at country level and therefore require adequate technical capacity to fulfil their mission.These guidelines aim at providing a basic resource to field offices for ensuring adequate technical support to national authorities in this process. In doing so, it takes into account different profiles of country needs and capacities, thus avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach. Countries may have different levels of awareness of, or political commitment to, Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4). In all cases, UNESCO is expected to ensure that all the relevant information about SDG4-Education 2030 is properly disseminated and that national authorities and stakeholders are reminded of its importance. To assist field offices in this task UNESCO has developed and made available a number of resources and support materials, notably the Unpacking SDG4-Education 2030 Guide, parts of which are excerpted here, and will continue coordination efforts in this respect.Inevitably, field staff will have to adapt the guidelines provided here to the reality of the country they are serving. That is why this document is full of resources and pointers that can be combined and tailored to fit the particular context of each country. At the same time, field staff are invited to require additional technical guidance from the corresponding regional bureaus, which can rely on the backstopping of Headquarters services and support from the specialized institutes.These guidelines represent a first attempt to provide specific directions and resources to allow field offices to technically support Member States. After a first evaluation, in which all field staff are invited to participate, the guidelines will be improved so as to make them even more suitable and useful. They will also be supplemented with other material to ensure that UNESCO plays its role as the leading United Nations agency in the field. 
Water for Women, Women for Water: UNESCO's Chairs on Water and Gender Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO The access to sufficient, safe and affordable water is a basic human right. It calls for governments, institutions, corporations and public and private organizations involved in the water sector to eliminate various forms of discrimination in the access, management and decision‐making processes involving water resources. Within the framework of the UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs Programme, UNESCO has established five Chairs seeking to promote the engagement of women in sustainable development and water resource management. These Chairs integrate the UNESCO Water Family, consisting of the International Hydrological Programme (IHP), water‐related Centers’, the UNESCO‐IHE Institute for Water Education, the World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP), and a total of 35 UNESCO Chairs and UNITWIN Networks.Located in Brazil, Côte d’Ivoire, Morocco, Togo and the Dominican Republic, the Chairs are based in institutions of research and higher education, working actively to develop human resources, build solutions, and share scientific and practical knowledge. They work in partnership with other academic institutions, as well as public and private organizations. They also pave the way for the research and higher education communities to join forces with UNESCO in an effort to achieve internationally agreed Development Goals and targets. With a high appreciation for the Chairs’ great potential for impact, IHP has strongly encouraged their projects and initiatives, as well their involvement in other focal areas of the Eighth Phase of IHP, in order to strengthen water security, enhance tertiary and technical water education and respond to the needs of communities, with a special focus on women’s needs. With their inception in 2006, the UNESCO Chairs on Water and Gender have built a remarkable combination of knowledge and experience in their area of expertise. Through their actions, the Chairs have successfully fostered cooperation and exchange of information among different institutions of higher education; conducted research and training activities on gender‐related issues, water and natural sciences; established networks between professionals, governmental, non‐governmental and private organizations; created new approaches to deal with the water‐related needs of local communities and succeeded in increasing participation, leadership and the role of women in the water sector.As a general goal, the Chairs strive to enhance women’s capacities through motivation, engagement, development of skills and education. They have been active in organizing learning courses, training sessions, workshops, conferences and a diverse range of research and community projects. The following pages present a detailed overview of the five Chairs and their goals, activities, and initiatives.

Accelerating Education for the SDGs in Universities: A Guide for Universities, Colleges, and Tertiary and Higher Education Institutions Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) The aim of this guide is to help accelerate the institutional process of mainstreaming ESDGs in universities, by helping stakeholders within and outside universities understand why they should pursue this goal, and how. It aims to expand, update and refine the information provided in the previous guide based on new resources, tools, thinking, and learnings from universities working to implement ESDGs, to consider what ESDGs mean for universities. The guide touches on the pedagogical aspects of ESDGs, in terms of how they affect institutional approaches to ESDGs, but does not attempt to provide a comprehensive review of them. The Guide outlines the case for mainstreaming education for the SDGs at universities, what this does and could look like in practice, and the processes and activities universities can take to support implementation. It also provides practical guidance, resources, and case studies to inspire universities to take action and deepen their practice.

Sustainable Development in the European Union: Monitoring Report on Progress Towards the SDGs in an EU Context (2020) Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: European Union (EU) Sustainable development is firmly anchored in the European Treaties and has been at the heart of European policy for a long time. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the UN General Assembly in September 2015, have given a new impetus to global efforts for achieving sustainable development. The EU is fully committed to playing an active role to maximise progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. This publication is the fourth of Eurostat’s regular reports monitoring progress towards the SDGs in an EU context. The analysis in this publication builds on the EU SDG indicator set, developed in cooperation with a large number of stakeholders. The indicator set comprises around 100 indicators and is structured along the 17 SDGs. For each SDG, it focuses on aspects which are relevant from an EU perspective. The monitoring report provides a statistical presentation of trends relating to the SDGs in the EU over the past five years (‘short-term’) and, when sufficient data are available, over the past 15 years (‘long-term’). The indicator trends are described on the basis of a set of specific quantitative rules.
