L'Enseignement pour le développement durable de l'Arctique Year of publication: 2009 Author: Lars Kullerud Corporate author: UNESCO Education is an essential component of sustainable development. However, for the Arctic there is a history of education systems that tried to force central school models on local people, including different degrees of suppression of local language.

Arctic higher educational institutions also face many challenges when attempting to be innovative and competitive due to their small size and geographic isolation. The model of the University of the Arctic allows for a dynamic development of shared education systems through mutual cooperation. This network can be a very efficient tool to for delivering a relevant curriculum for a changing North.

Water education for sustainable development: a global synthesis Year of publication: 2012 Corporate author: International Hydrological Programme (IHP) Water education is key to achieve the water related MDGs. While there is a range of materials and projects focusing on water-related education, these are not well connected to offer customised solutions to individual countries. Some of the limitations identified with the existing water education include use of outdated, biased or irrelevant information; poor medium of instruction; lack of continuity between different levels of water education; lack of integration with the wider curriculum and with local knowledge; lack of practical relevance to local and community needs; lack of resources; and poor linkages with locally available professional bodies. The programme on “Water Education” is an initiative of the International Hydrological Programme (IHP) of UNESCO, Water and Sustainable Education focused on an integrated understanding of biological and hydrological processes at a catchment’s scale in order to create a scientific basis for a new, cost-effective and systemic approach to the sustainable management of freshwater resources.
