Guidelines for Green and Low-Carbon Consumption at World Heritage Sites Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: UNESCO Beijing | International Bamboo and Rattan Organization (INBAR) Benefiting from Chishui’s rich tourism resources, such as Chishui Danxia World Heritage site, national nature reserves, and attractive landscapes with bamboo featured, ecotourism is flourishing in Chishui. Since 2018, within the framework of China Youth Development Foundation Mercedes-Benz Star Fund "Conservation and Management of World Heritage Sites in China" project, UNESCO Regional Office for East Asia has been implementing the “Bamboo for Carbon Neutrality in Rural Areas” pilot activity on bamboo handicraft sustainable livelihood and carbon reduction and low-carbon development in collaboration with Chishui World Heritage Administration, Chishui Forestry Administration and International Bamboo and Rattan Organization (INBAR) with the support from the Intangible Cultural Heritage Department of Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Guizhou Forestry and Grassland Administration. In recent years, the Chinese government has attached great importance to green consumption in implementing the Action Plan for Carbon Dioxide Peak Before 2030 and has achieved remarkable results. However, rigid constraints still exist in several industries, meaning that the long-term mechanism for promoting green consumption and the supporting role of green consumption in high-quality economic development need to be strengthened. In response to this demand, the Guidelines for Green and Low-Carbon Consumption at World Heritage Sites takes the development and utilization of bamboo resources as an entry point to provide systematic guidance for World Heritage sites to implement green and low-carbon concepts in consumer activities, especially in tourism development.

Building Strong Foundations: What is Foundational Education for Health and Well-being? (Brief 1) Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: UNESCO | United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) In a rapidly changing world, establishing strong foundations for children is vital for their well-being and resilience. Quality education is central to this endeavour and is the key to lifelong health and success. Recognizing that children thrive in the classroom when they are in good health, it is crucial to learn about health and well-being early on in primary schools. The Building strong foundations briefs, developed jointly by UNESCO and UNICEF, provide evidence-based guidance to support primary school-aged children to thrive through foundational education for health and well-being. Drawing from extensive research and consultations with leading experts from various fields and across the world, these briefs serve as a roadmap for education stakeholders to equip learners with the requisite knowledge and skills to navigate their current and future health and well-being needs. This document is the first of four briefs. It provides an overview of the essential role that primary schools play in enhancing health and well-being. The document outlines what foundational refers to, why it is important for health and education, and how it contributes to paving the way for healthier, inclusive and thriving societies. The brief shares compelling evidence and case studies to distill six essential elements for an effective whole-school approach to health and well-being.

The objective is to have 90 per cent of all countries include climate change in their curricula by 2030, as established by the Greening Education Partnership.This Guidance aims to support countries, schools or individual practitioners in reassessing their ongoing practices to adopt a more action-oriented, holistic, scientifically accurate, justice-driven and lifelong learning approach to climate change. 
Green School Quality Standard: Greening Every Learning Environment Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: UNESCO Climate change threatens our planet and future. Schools and other learning institutions are central places for accelerating climate action among learners and local communities. By empowering teachers and students to understand climate change in their own context contribute to making societies more sustainable and climate resilient. This publication provides for the first time ever a quality standard for greening schools and other learning environments. It outlines four core areas for integrating sustainability principles and climate action: 1) school governance, 2) facilities and operation, 3) teaching and learning, and 4) community engagement. Through the Greening Education Partnership, this standard establishes a common language for all stakeholders to jointly reach the global target of greening at least 50% of schools in all countries by 2030. Policy-makers and ministries in charge of education accreditation schemes, as well as educators, learners and communities are encouraged to use the green school quality standard and join the climate-ready school movement to ensure that every learner is equipped to address climate challenges. 
Digital Resource Guide: Media Education Against Hate Speech Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: Esplai Foundation We could define hate speech as the set of communicative actions aimed at defending, promoting or instigating hatred, humiliation or contempt of a person or group of people. Although hate speech is not something exclusive to the Internet, but is part of the reality beyond the networks, it is true that the potential of the networks facilitates the movement of communication flows, because it facilitates both the production and the creation of messages. Hate speech has also benefited from this and, in addition, has found in the networks other characteristics such as anonymity, brevity, free messaging services or legitimacy granted by the number of followers. With this guide we want to provide digital tools for the creation of this counter-discourse that allows for the creation of messages that offer a positive alternative to extremist propaganda. 
School Convivencia : Reviewing the Concept (Psicoperspectivas; No. 18, Vol. 1) Year of publication: 2019 Author: Cecilia Fierro-Evans | Patricia Carbajal-Padilla Corporate author: Catholic University of Valparaíso. School of Psychology This article reports an effort to review the concept of school convivencia (peaceful coexistence, living together) in the Spanish context with the purpose of advancing into its clarification, and thus contributing to developing a common language in the Latin American region. The authors conduct a basic literature review oriented to identify the main theoretical approaches in the convivencia field. Subsequently, they analyze four studies focused in systematizing the prevailing approaches in the study of school convivencia. As a result, they propose a concept of convivencia from a social justice perspective adapted to education, and they operationalize it in three areas of school life: pedagogical-curricular, organizationaladministrative, and the socio-communitarian. This comprehensive notion of school convivencia may guide future research, educational initiatives, and school assessments in the convivencia field that may respond to the violence and pervasive social exclusion that exist in the Latin American region.
