Achieving and Monitoring Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship: A Systematic Review of the Literature (Sustainability 2020; Vol. 12, No. 4) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Brent Edwards | Manca Sustarsic | Mina Chiba | Mark McCormick | Melissa Goo | Sara Perriton Corporate author: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) This paper presents the results of a systematic review of literature (56 studies) related to Sustainable Development Goal 4.7. The goal of the research reported on here is to contribute to the discussion around strategies for working towards and monitoring SDG4.7 at the institutional level. Within this overarching focus, our review of the literature was designed to identify studies that have looked at both student learning and teacher education related to SDG4.7. This twin focus stems from the recognition that achieving the SDGs will be particularly difficult if policymakers are not attentive to both sides of the learning equation—that is, first, to the ways that teachers learn to teach about issues related to SDG4.7 and, then, the ways that students acquire this knowledge and are assessed. The five findings sections of this review correspond to the five areas of emphasis embedded in the language of SDG4.7, namely, education for (a) sustainable development, (b) human rights, (c) gender equality, (d) promoting of a culture of peace and non-violence, and (e) appreciation of cultural diversity. In accordance with the purpose of this review, the synthesis for each area of emphasis digs into the details of the educational interventions, monitoring and evaluation strategies, and results that are documented in the publications analyzed. Thus, this review can be useful for informing educational or pedagogical approaches related to SDG4.7, as well as for designing monitoring and evaluation tools for the SDGs.

Instructional Design Based on Ecological Multiple Citizenship for Elementary Social Studies Classroom: Focusing on National Citizenship, Global Citizenship and Sustainable Development Education (Social studies education; Vol. 55, No. 1) Year of publication: 2016 Author: Kwangtaek Sim Corporate author: Korean Social Studies Association An instructional model for national citizenship, global citizenship, and sustainable development education was developed. Four lesson plans in the elementary 5thgrade social studies were suggested to show the practice of the instructional model. Three outcomes are reported. First, identity as a citizen of a nation, global citizenship, communications are interrelated. National citizenship and communications in the network society can result in a stronger vision of one’s global citizenship. This is especially the case when the wellbeing and happiness of people in neighboring countries who live across the national boundary are viewed within the domain of community- economy- ecology. Each prepares citizens through knowledge and skills that enable them to empathize, criticize constructively, and live together sustainably. The educational methods recommended to attain global citizenship perspectives are critical thinking, comparative studies, and teaching controversial issues. Those methods tend to result in a commitment to guarantee of non-domination freedom and tolerance of others. Second, discussions regarding sustainable development focused largely on deliberative engagement as a teaching method. Issues discussed were: speculative banking and its regulation; medical treatment and education as value goods; the steps necessary for households and businesses to attain sustainability; and environmental justice and social equity. The educational methods recommended to live together sustainably are planning and practice for grassroots democratic communities’ solidarity by applying back-casting strategy and systematic thinking. Thirdly, social studies classrooms intent on to enhance national citizenship, global citizenship, and sustainable development have a five step task. They, should emphasize comparison and critique→ discussion→ empathy→ planning and lastly the engagement of learners in content critical to ecological multiple citizenship. 생태적 다중시민성에 기반한 초등사회과 교실수업 설계: 국가시민성, 세계시민성, 지속가능발전 교육을 중심으로 (사회과교육; Vol. 55, No. 1) Year of publication: 2016 Author: 심광택 Corporate author: 한국사회과교육연구학회 본 연구에서는 생태적 다중시민성에 기반하여 국가시민성, 세계시민성, 지속가능발전 교육을 논의하고, 개발한 수업모형에 초등사회 5-1 학습내용을 적용하여 교재분석 및 수업안을 예시하였다. 첫째, 국가시민성, 세계시민성과 의사소통에 관해 논의한 결과, 네트워크시대의 국가시민성으로서 개인정체성은 지역 사회-경제-생태 영역에서 민족과 국경을 넘어 이웃의 안녕과 행복을 담보하려는 세계시민적 정체성으로 발전할 수 있다. 교육내용으로서 공감하는 시민, 비판적 시민, 생태적 시민과 관련된 지식이해, 기능, 가치태도 영역을 선정하고, 교육방법으로서 비지배자유 보장을 위한 토론, 관용과 비판적 사고, 비교와 논쟁을 권장할 수 있다. 둘째, 지속가능한 발전과 사회참여숙의에 관해 논의한 결과, 교육내용으로서 통치체제는 투기성 금융활동을 규제하고, 의료와 교육을 가치재로 인정하며, 가계와 기업은 지속가능한 경제활동을 추구하고, 지역사회를 중심으로 시민 간 연대하여 환경정의와 사회적 형평성을 실천해야 할 것이다. 교육방법으로서 학습자는 파리협정관련 백캐스팅 전략과 지 구촌 사회의 정치, 경제, 사회, 환경 간 시스템적 사고에 토대하여 풀뿌리 민주공동체 간 상호연대를 계획하고 실천할 수 있다. 셋째, 생태적 다중시민성에 기반한 국가시민성, 세계시민성, 지속가능발전 교육을 위한 사회과 교실수업은 학문적 접근이 아니라, 생태적 다중시민성을 지향하는 학습내용을 중심으로 일상생활에서 학습자의 비판적 시민성과 관련하여 비교와 비판→ 토론→ 공감→ 계획과 실천 순으로 설계할 수 있다. 
Global Citizenship Education: Solidar Foundation Policy Paper Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Solidar Foundation | Erasmus+ The purpose of this paper is to provide recommendations supported by our members, based on their work in formal, non-formal and informal education, to expand GCE at national and European level. Considering how GCE is linked many times with formal education, the recommendations reveal the work of our members outside of this, building upon the need for a multi-stakeholder approach that spans across the entire learning process. This policy paper guides SOLIDAR Foundation’s work in influencing developments related to the EU’s Updated Skills Agenda, European Education Area, Action Plan for the Implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights, and the European Green Deal, given how all provide an opportunity for GCE to be embraced as a necessity rather than an added-value. 
التقرير العربي للتنمية المسـتدامة 2020 Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) تدعو خطة عام 2030 إلى تغيير جذري وتحوّل في الأنماط السائدة. فحشد الموارد المحلية والخارجية يُعدّ من التحدّيات الملحة في المنطقة العربية، كما يُعدّ تكثيف الجهود نحو تحقيق أهداف التنمية المستدامة أمراً مُلحاً. إلّا أنّ التحوّل الجذري، لا يستلزم موارد مالية وتسريع الجهود فحسب، بل يتطلب، أكثر ما يتطلب، تحولًا في التوجه والنهج نحو التكامل في السياسات والاستدامة البيئية والحقوق مع التركيز على المساواة، والعدالة، والشمول الاجتماعي، والحريات الأساسية، والمشاركة في السياسة.قصة أهداف التنمية المستدامة في المنطقة العربية هي إذاً قصة الحقوق والمساواة بين الجنسين والاستدامة والتنمية المتكاملة. ولهذه المهمة من الضخامة والطموح ما يتعدى قياس التقدم على مستوى الأهداف والمقاصد والمؤشرات. وهذا التقرير، الصادر بعد مرور خمسة أعوام على اعتماد خطة عام 2030 وأهداف التنمية المستدامة، هو بمثابة تذكير بضرورة تحديد نقطة الانطلاق في التنفيذ على ضوء الإنجاز المنشود، حتى يكون في التغيير تحوّلٌ حقيقي. وإنّما المواءمة بين السياسات وسائر التدخلات مع الإطار الشامل لخطة عام 2030 هي الطريق الوحيد لعبور المنطقة والعالم إلى تنفيذ خطة عام 2030. أما مدى قرب المنطقة العربية من هذه المواءمة أو بعدها عنها، فهو ما يسرده هذا التقرير.

The United Nations world water development report 2016: water and jobs 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.
