Défis 2030: un agenda pour tous Year of publication: 2017 Since 1948, the UNESCO Courier has served as a platform for international debates on issues that concern the entire planet. This first issue of 2017, which marks the Courier’s revival after
a five-year break, is no exception to the rule: experts, public figures, artists and journalists from around the world have come together to discuss topical issues.Climate change and sustainable energy (p. 23), the future of cities and Smart Cities (p. 15), access to water and the state of groundwater (p. 19), educational policies and the importance they give to girls (p. 8), new technologies and their role in establishing efficient democratic institutions (p. 27), alliances and partnerships that must be forged to advance towards a better world
(p. 31) — these are some of the subjects that constitute the main dossier,
Wide angle, of this issue dedicated to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).UNESCO is closely associated with the development and implementation of this international road map that aims
to achieve the seventeen objectives established by the UN, which is convinced that culture, though officially absent from the SDGs, is at the heart of sustainable development policies (p. 12). Elyx, the jovial character created by Yacine Ait Kaci (YAK) and designated virtual ambassador of the UN, supports the Courier in its mission to make palpable the different realities around the world. These are illustrated by a number of SDGs and highlight the players who participate in achieving this agenda for everyone. These include the international community, states, civil society, local communities and authorities, the private sector, and the partnerships that these players set up between each other.The Ideas section, which is dedicated
to another highly topical issue — the current perception of Islam — suggests considering a reinterpretation of the Koran (p. 42) and the sharia (p. 48).
This issue of the Courier also features a reference text on the Different Aspects of Islamic Culture. Launched in 1977, in the wake of a monumental work produced by UNESCO Publishing on general and regional histories, this comprehensive work was completed in November 2016, with the publication of two volumes that constitute an important contribution to the current debate on Islam.In the Current affairs section for the April-June 2017 quarter, the Courier
will celebrate the launch of the World Book Capital programme in Conakry

تعزيز رفاه الشباب عبر الصحة والتعليم: رؤى وفرص Year of publication: 2019 Author: Wing Yi Chan | Jennifer Sloan | Anita Chandra Corporate author: RAND Corporation أضحى الرفاه، باعتباره ركيزة أساسية في عمليات التخطيط وصناعة السياسات وتخصيص الموارد، ضرورةً لا غنى عنها لتنمية المجتمعات والدول التي تسير في درب الازدهار، مما دفعنا في هذا التقرير لدراسة المؤلفات الأكاديمية وغير الأكاديمية وثيقة الصلة بالموضوع لتحديد الأطر النظرية التي تحقق التكامل بين الصحة والتعليم داخل منظومة واحدة. Promoting Youth Well-Being Through Health and Education: Insights and Opportunities Year of publication: 2019 Author: Wing Yi Chan | Jennifer Sloan | Anita Chandra Corporate author: RAND Corporation Putting well-being at the heart of planning, policy making, and resource allocation is emerging as critical to the development of thriving communities and nations. We examined the academic and grey literature to identify theoretical frameworks that integrate health and education. We identified and described policies and programs supporting well-being around the world, and interviewed experts from each location to gain a deeper understanding of them.The report found that although wellbeing frameworks that integrate education and health exist, few of them have been examined rigorously to reveal how both educational and health outcomes can be achieved together. 
The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2020 Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: United Nations (UN) The annual Sustainable Development Goals Report provides an overview of the world’s implementation efforts to date, highlighting areas of progress and areas where more action needs to be taken to ensure no one is left behind. Now, in only a short period of time, the COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed an unprecedented crisis, causing further disruption to SDG progress, with the world’s poorest and most vulnerable affected the most.Using the latest data and estimates, this annual stocktaking report on progress across the 17 Goals shows that it is the poorest and most vulnerable – including children, older persons, persons with disabilities, migrants and refugees – who are being hit the hardest by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Women are also bearing the heaviest brunt of the pandemic’s effects.The report also shows that climate change is still occurring much faster than anticipated. 
Hacia una Educación para la Sostenibilidad: 20 años después del Libro Blanco de la Educación Ambiental en España Year of publication: 2019 Author: Javier Benayas | Carmelo Marcén Corporate author: Red Española para el Desarrollo Sostenible (REDS) | Centro Nacional de Educación Ambiental (CENEAM) | Ecoembes El document presenta las luces y sombras de la multiforme intervención de la Educación Ambiental en los últimos 30 años; a la vez identifica pautas para recorrer el camino hacia la sostenibilidad de una forma más eficaz y segura pero sobre todo con la implicación de toda la sociedad. 
Multi-Stakeholder Approaches to Education for Sustainable Development in Local Communities: Towards Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in Asia Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO The idea for this publication first emerged from the ‘10th Asia-Pacific RCE Regional Meeting and Symposium on the Sustainable Development Goals: From Goals to Action’, held from 2 to 4 November 2017 at the India Habitat Centre in New Delhi, India. The case studies presented at the symposium became the basis for this publication.The cases presented in this publication show how RCEs create solutions that enable sustainable development practices in local communities by utilizing education, innovative learning methods and multi-stakeholder partnerships. Local stakeholders take ownership of the sustainability processes, consistently address the targeted SDGs, and demonstrate RCE contributions to the ESD for 2030 priority action areas – policy, education and training settings, educators, youth and community. 
المجتمع المدني وسؤال المواطنة: فرص التفعيل وحدود التأثير Year of publication: 2017 Author: Assia Belkhir Corporate author: Larbi Ben M'Hidi أدت التغيرات السريعة والمتلاحقة التي عرفتها المجتمعات المعاصرة، إلى إعادة النظر في منظومة المفاىي المرتبطة بالدولة والمجتمع، وفي طبيعة العلاقة بينيما، وفيما يربط الأفراد بمجتمعاتهم ودولهم، وأصبحت قوة الدولة لا تقاس فقط بقدراتها العسكرية، ولكن أساسا بقدرتها على تنفيذ السياسات العامة التي توفر الخدمات الاساسية للمواطنين، وقدرتها على توزيع الأدوار مع المجتمع المدني بما يزيد المشاركة ويحقق المواطنة السياسية والاجتماعية، التي يعاد التساؤل بشأنهاهي الأخرى مع بروز فكرة المواطنة العالمية. Civil Society and the Question of Citizenship : Opportunities for Activation and Limits of Influence Year of publication: 2017 Author: Assia Belkhir Corporate author: Larbi Ben M'Hidi The rapid and progressive changes that contemporary societies have undergone, have led to a reconsideration of the system of concepts associated to the state and the society, the nature of their relationship, and the connection of individuals to their societies and states. The power of the state is not only measured by its Military capabilities but mainly by its ability to implement public policies that provide essential services to the citizens, and its capacity to distribute roles within civil society, there by increasing participation and achieving the requirements of political and social citizenship, which is questioned as well, with the emergence of the idea of a global citizenship. 
세계시민교육의 측정 지표 개발 및 국제적 확산 지원 방안 탐색 Year of publication: 2016 Author: 조지민 | 곽영순, 이혜원, 이정우, 서민희 Corporate author: 한국교육과정평가원 본 연구의 목적은 UNESCO의 ‘교육 2030’에서 공동 지표로 채택하고 있는 세계시민교육(Global Citizenship Education)에 대한 측정 가능한 지표를 개발하고, 세계시민교육 측정 지표의 국제적 확산 방안을 모색하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 UNESCO(2015c)에 제시된 학습 영역, 주제 등을 기반으로 하여 현재 활용되고 있는 국제수준의 다양한 세계시민교육 관련 개념과 측정 요소들을 비교하고 세계시민교육을 위한 종합적이고 명확한 측정 가능한 지표를 개발하고자 하였다. 일차적으로 UNESCO(2015c)의 틀에 맞추어 OECD의 글로벌 역량(OECD, 2015, 2016), IEA의 ICCS(Shulz, et al, 2016), 미국 CCSSO의 글로벌 역량(CCSSO, 2011), NGO인 Oxfam(Oxfam, 2015)의 세계시민교육의 측정 요소를 재분류하여 1차, 2차 지표(안)을 산출하였다. 그리고 3차 지표(안)을 산출하여 델파이 조사지로 활용하였다. 세계시민교육 관련 전문가 12명이 델파이 조사의 패널로 참여하였다. 델파이 조사 결과를 분석, 수렴하여, 본 연구의 목적인 측정 가능한 지표(안)을 제시하였다. 이러한 세계시민교육 지표의 활용방안과 관련하여 긍정적 효과로는 기존 다문화교육이나 국제이해교육과의 차이점 이해 및 세계시민교육에 대한 관심과 이해 제고를 통한 지구촌 사회의 공동책임감 개선에 기한다는 등을 제시하였다. 반면에 전문가들이 제안한 주요 부정적 영향으로 첫째, 세계시민성에 대한 의미 통일이 이루어지지 않으면, 혼란을 초래할 수 있으며; 둘째, 지도하는 교사의 전문성 신장 방안과 구체적인 교육 방법 등을 먼저 제시해야 한고; 셋째, 계시민만을 강조하다보면 국가차원의 시민성에 대한 논의가 제외되거나 축소될 수 있으며 세계화 등과 같은 논쟁적 개념 정의를 토대로 특정한 인간상을 구현하려고 할 경우 이데올로기적 논쟁에서 자유롭지 않을 수 있다는 점이 제기되었다. 따라서 이에 대한 연구진의 집중 논의를 통해 본 연구의 취지와 내용 등을 반영하여 우리나라의 중학교학생을 대상으로 하는 측정 지표를 산출하였다.본 연구에서는 연구 요약과 함께 본 연구에서 개발된 세계시민교육 측정 지표의 확산을 위한 방안을 세 가지로 정리하여 제시하였다. 첫째는 세계시민교육 측정 지표의 국내 및 국외적 적용, 개선 및 활용도 제고이며, 둘째는 세계시민교육 측정 지표 적용 관련 경험적 연구 수행 및 적절성, 효과성 점검이고, 세계시민교육의 내실화를 위한 선도적 역할 및 국제 협력 강화를 위한 국가차원의 지원이다. 따라서 세계시민교육의 측정 가능한 지표 개발을 토대로 세계시민교육을 활성화 및 내실화하는 데 기여할 수 있는 기반이 마련 될 것으로 기대된다.
