Guidelines for Data Collection to Measure SDG 4.7.4 and 4.7.5 Year of publication: 2021 Author: Andres Sandoval-Hernandez | Maria Magdalena Isac | Diego Carrasco | Daniel Miranda Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) This document provides guidance to apply a recently developed strategy to assess two indicators that embody tolerance, respect and sustainable development, namely:Indicator 4.7.4: Percentage of students in lower secondary education showing adequate understanding of issues relating to global citizenship and sustainabilityIndicator 4.7.5: Percentage of students in lower secondary education showing proficiency in knowledge of environmental science and geoscienceFollowing a thorough review and endorsement by the UIS’ Technical Cooperation Group on the Indicators for SDG 4-Education 2030 (TCG), the measurement strategy has since been applied to the last cycles of TIMSS, PISA and ICCS to produce scores to measure Indicators 4.7.4 and 4.7.5 for 60 countries. While this marks a significant achievement, it is important to acknowledge that two- thirds of UN members have yet to participate in these assessments. To promote wider participation among UN members, this document serves as a robust and easy-to-use set of guidelines offering detailed technical guidance for countries on how to collect the data necessary to produce the information to measure and monitor SDG Indicators 4.7.4 and 4.7.5. Notably, these guidelines will aid in the production of information that is comparable with that of the 60 countries for which this data already exists. 
UNESCO Science Report: The Race Against Time for Smarter Development Year of publication: 2021 Author: Susan Schneegans | Tiffany Straza | Jake Lewis Corporate author: UNESCO This seventh edition of the report monitors the development path that countries have been following over the past five years from the perspective of science governance. It documents the rapid societal transformation under way, which offers new opportunities for social and economic experimentation but also risks exacerbating social inequalities, unless safeguards are put in place.The report concludes that countries will need to invest more in research and innovation, if they are to succeed in their dual digital and green transition. More than 30 countries have already raised their research spending since 2014, in line with their commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals. Despite this progress, eight out of ten countries still devote less than 1% of GDP to research, perpetuating their dependence on foreign technologies.

Global Citizenship Education: A Policymaking Awareness and Advocacy Handbook Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: APCEIU | UNESCO Bangkok GCED is critical for learners and countries to reach the SDG-Education 2030 targets. Many countries have GCED elements, either explicitly or implicitly, within their education policies. However, to fully realize SDG target 4.7 and to enable our learners to achieve the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed to succeed in an ever-changing and adaptable world, countries may need to explicitly build these components directly into various education policies. This policymakers’ handbook provides some guidance on how policymakers can develop and adapt local level policies in order to strengthen GCED learning. 
Inclusion of the Domains of Sustainable Development in Al Hadith Text Books in the Intermediate Stage Year of publication: 2019 Author: Zubaida S. Al Shamary | Talal M. Al Maaajal Corporate author: Sultan Qaboos University This study aims to identify the areas of sustainable development that should be included in the textbooks of Prophetic Sayings (Hadeeth) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to determine the degree of availability, and to find out if there are statistically significant differences at (α≤0.05) in the degree of availability. The descriptive analytical method was used to analyze the whole study population. Cooper coefficient of stability, frequencies, and percentages were used to analyze the results and measure the degree of availability of these fields. Chi Square equation was also used to measure the differences between the availability of fields among grades. The social field was firstly ranked with a percentage of 78.16%, and a total of 433 frequencies, while the environmental field followed it with a percentage of 6.98% and a total of 37 frequencies. The paper showed that there were statistically significant differences in the inclusion in Chi equation.
