[Video] UNESCO - Futures of Education: Learning to Become Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO UNESCO’s Futures of Education initiative aims to rethink how knowledge and learning can shape the future of humanity and the planet. Looking to 2050 and beyond, the initiative seeks to reimagine how education and knowledge can contribute to the global common good. The initiative is catalyzing a global debate on how knowledge, education and learning need to be reimagined in a world of increasing complexity, uncertainty, and precarity. This initiative mobilizes the many rich ways of being and knowing in order to leverage humanity’s collective intelligence. It relies on a broad, open consultative process that involves youth, educators, civil society, governments, business and other stakeholders. The work is being guided by a high-level International Commission of thought-leaders from diverse fields and different regions of the world. In late 2021, the commission will publish a global report designed to share a forward looking vision on how education and learning can enable us to become what we want to become. 
Capacity Develoment for Education: the CapED Programme at a glance Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO Education has the power to transform lives and is at the heart of UNESCO’s mission to build peace, eradicate poverty and drive sustainable development. Right now, 750 million adults – two-thirds women – still lack basic literacy skills. Around 264 million children and youth are out of school and the international community must have almost 69 million new teachers to reach the 2030 education goals. These challenges can be tackled effectively through education reforms. However, these can only take place when countries have the capacities to put this change into action. As well as trained staff, countries need efficient organizational processes, functioning institutions and the tools and resources to design, implement and manage tailored education policies and plans. This is where the CapED Programme steps in. By mobilizing UNESCO’s global network, the Programme provides selected countries with a cohesive package of support. It works alongside stakeholders to reinforce national capacities to undertake evidence-based education reforms that fit into their national priorities and respond to SDG4 commitments, in order to offer quality education opportunities to all.

Changing minds, not the climate: the role of education Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO Education is the most powerful element in preparing societies for the global challenges that climate change brings. It equips individuals, communities and the wider world with the understanding, skills and attitudes to engage in shaping green, low emission and climate-resilient societies. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is not an ‘extra’ but rather an integral part of any strategy to combat the effects of climate change, put into practice a global agreement and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It acts to raise awareness and change behaviours and attitudes and enables people to make informed decisions about their lives. The heads of UNESCO and UNFCCC agree that “education provides the skills people need to thrive in the new sustainable economy, working in areas such as renewable energy, smart agriculture, forest rehabilitation, the design of resource-efficient cities, and sound management of healthy ecosystems. Perhaps most important, education can bring about a fundamental shift in how we think, act, and discharge our responsibilities toward one another and the planet.” ESD is increasingly recognized around the world as a key enabler for a more sustainable future.
