Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development - United Nations General Assembly Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: United Nations (UN) This plan represents a program of action for people and land and for prosperity. It is also aimed at promoting world peace in a more free atmosphere. We recognize that the eradication of poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is the world's greatest challenge and an indispensable condition for sustainable development. All countries and stakeholders will implement this plan within the framework of the cooperative partnership. We are determined to free mankind from the tyranny of poverty and want and to heal and preserve the wounds of our planet. We are determined to take the bold steps leading to the transformation that are urgently needed to move the world towards a path of sustainability and resilience. As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge that no one will be left behind. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and the 169 targets that we will announce today demonstrate the breadth and ambition of this global agenda. The aim of these goals and objectives is to continue the process of the Millennium Development Goals and achieve what has not been achieved within the framework. They are also intended to realize human rights for all, achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. These are integral and indivisible goals and objectives that balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and environmental dimensions.

Pathways to Empowerment: Recognizing the Competences of Syrian Refugees in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey Year of publication: 2018 Author: Madhu Singh Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) For Syrian refugees living in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, recognition is a transformative mechanism that can help them enter or re-enter education, integrate into the world of work and participate fully in their host communities. However, while policy-makers in the region have prioritized the recognition, validation and accreditation of non-formal and informal learning, it remains a major challenge to develop systems that do this effectively. Pathways to Empowerment lays the essential groundwork for such a system, urging governments to develop comprehensive national strategies rather than ad hoc projects to recognize the competences of Syrian refugees. Its recommendations will contribute to dialogue between national authorities and social partners, and guide policy actions and RVA practices both in the region and in other parts of the world where recognition of refugees’ learning is a critical issue. 
ESD Implementation in Learning Cities Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) This publication aims to share the best practice cases from nine cities on ESD implementation (policy and practice) following a lifelong learning approach. These cases showcase innovative local initiatives that have embedded ESD into lifelong learning systems through policy/ strategy development or project implementation, focusing on the following priority areas of action and local activities laid down in the ESD for 2030 roadmap: Local policy/strategy development on ESD: The development of an action plan that determines how the community as a whole can become a learning laboratory for sustainable development. Capacity-building for educators and local authorities: Lifelong learning initiatives for systematic and comprehensive ESD capacity development for educators in the formal and non-formal education sectors, and for local government officials. Efforts to foster engagement with local communities, including: • formal education institutions’ engagement with local communities for the promotion of ESD; • non-formal education institutions (e.g. community learning centres) serving as a hub for lifelong learning on ESD in their communities. Empowerment and mobilization of youth: Lifelong learning initiatives for ESD that focus on young people. Innovative use of local spaces for ESD: Designated areas or spaces that inspire learning and host projects that promote sustainability. In addition to the five priority areas listed above, the case studies share one cross-cutting theme: • Multi-stakeholder approach: How people from different walks of life or professional sectors come together to contribute to local ESD initiatives at either the policy or the project level.

Trends in Adult Learning and Education in the Arab States: Findings from the Fourth Global Report on Adult Learning and Education Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) This report reveals that adult learning and education in the region is strongly focused on literacy, with less attention given to other areas of adult learning, such as continuing education and professional development, and citizenship education. This suggests that, while further progress is needed in achieving basic education for all, the other dimensions of adult learning need to be given adequate attention to ensure provision that is comprehensive and relevant to the diverse needs of adult and youth learners. Furthermore, the report suggests that good governance, supportive political will and adequate funding are key to fully realizing the potential of adult learning and education for economic, social, technological, and societal transformation. It is hoped that this report can provide some benchmarks and be a source of inspiration for policy-makers and stakeholders in Arab countries to further enhance the provision, quality and relevance of adult learning and education in order to build a sustainable and resilient future. الكبار وتعليمهم يف الدول العربية : اتجاهات يف تعل َصة من التقرير العاملي نتائج مستخل الرابع بشأن تعلم الكبار وتعليمهم Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) يكشف التقرير أن تركيز دول المنطقة ّ العربية ينصب ّ في المقام األو ّ ل على مجال »القرائية/محو األمية والمهارات األساسية« ، في حين تحظى مجاالت أخرى ذات صلة، مثل »التعليم المستمر والتطوير المهني«، و« تعليم المواطنة«، بدرجة أقل من االهتمام. لذلك، ومع وجود حاجة إلى إحراز ّق بتوفير التعليم األساسي للجميع ّ مزيد من التقدم فيما يتعل ّصلة ، يظلّ من الضروري إيالء اهتمام أكبر لألبعاد األخرى المت ّم الكبار وتعليمهم، بما يضمن توفير التعليم على نحو شامل بتعل ّمين من الكبار والشباب. ّ ومالئم لالحتياجات المتنوعة للمتعل ّ عالوة على ذلك، يشير التقرير إلى أن الحوكمة الرشيدة واإلرادة ّ السياسية الداعمة والتمويل الكافي تشكل عوامل أساسية لضمان ّم الكبار وتعليمهم االستفادة الكاملة من اإلمكانات التي يتيحها تعل ّ لتعزيز التحول االقتصادي واالجتماعي والتكنولوجي والمجتمعي المنشود. وأخيرا، أملنا أن يوفّر هذا التقرير بعض النقاط المرجعية وأن ّ يشكل مصدر إلهام لصانعي السياسات ولجميع الجهات المعنية ّم الكبار وتعليمهم من حيث توفير البرامج وضمان الجودة وتحقيق ّ في البلدان العربية، من أجل المضي قدما في تعزيز تعل ُه االستدامة ُ ِ سهم في بناء مستقبل أفضل سمت ّ الجدوى، مما ي والقدرة على الصمود
