ESD レンズ政策および実践のためのリビュー・ツール Année de publication: 2010 Auteur institutionnel: UNESCO The Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Lens has been prepared to support UN Member States to respond to these challenges through implementation of the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD, 2005- 2014). The ESD Lens supports the goals of the DESD, and encourages policy-makers and practitioners in Member States to initiate the process of re-orienting education, particularly the formal education system, towards sustainable development. The overall goal of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD) is for countries to integrate the understandings, skills and values inherent in sustainable development into all aspects of national education plans to encourage changes in lifestyles and behaviour that allow for a more sustainable and just society for all. This complements existing Education for All initiatives, and strengthens the objectives of the Millennium Development Goals. Education for Sustainable Development has the potential to improve the quality and relevance of education everywhere. 
UNESCO's role, vision and challenges for the UN decade of education for sustainable development (2005-2014) Année de publication: 2006 Auteur institutionnel: UNESCO This document elaborates on UNESCO's role in guiding the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD), its vision and challenges for the DESD. Media as partners in education for sustainable development: a training and resource kit Année de publication: 2008 Auteur: Eleanor Bird | Richard Lutz | Christine Warwick Auteur institutionnel: UNESCO Media as Partners in Education for Sustainable Development addresses issues that are being discussed on the social, economic and environmental fronts. It does not pretend to know all the answers, but draws on existing experience and recommends resources for further inquiry and research. It encourages the media to engage in public participation and to debate improvements that can lead to sustainable development. It also seeks to contribute to media awareness and understanding of sustainability, as outlined by the Agenda 21 Plan of Action for all nations endorsed at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Education and national sustainable development strategies Année de publication: 2009 Auteur institutionnel: UNESCO Since the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 countries around the world have been developing and implementing National Sustainable Development Strategies (NSDS). Sustainable Development competes with many deeply entrenched values and therefore progress has been slow. Tensions between long term and short term thinking, and between economic growth and social and environmental sustainability, are not easy to resolve. The NSDS process has gained impetus following the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development, where it was agreed that countries need to take immediate steps to elaborate and formulate NSDS systems that can continuously improve. The UN Guidance Document describes an NSDS as a comprehensive, adaptable, continuous and long term undertaking that helps a country to achieve economic prosperity and higher levels of social welfare, while at the same time preserving the environment. An NSDS is not just something that can be put together in a document and be promulgated. Development of an NSDS requires multi-stakeholder participation, partnerships, country ownership, shared vision with a commitment to continuous improvement, capacity development and the ability to build on existing knowledge and processes and a clear focus on outcomes. Education is a central dimension of achieving sustainable development, and needs to be incorporated into the NSDS process. Learning is central to the process of NSDS development and implementation. Education for sustainable development and the millennium development goals Année de publication: 2009 Auteur institutionnel: UNESCO The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) provide a universal framework for development, agreed to by all UN Member States in 2000. They provide a means for developing countries and development partners to work together in pursuit of a sustainable future. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) can contribute to the achievement of all the MDGs. It can help governments and development partners to ensure that capacity exists for achieving the MDGs. ESD provides learning goals that help to achieve the MDGs. 
The UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD 2005-2014): the first two years Année de publication: 2007 Auteur institutionnel: UNESCO The implementation of the DESD has made considerable progress since its international launch in March 2005. Apart from regional and national launches, progress has been achieved in both institutional and programmatic areas at international, regional and national levels. The objective of this report is not solely to highlight and showcase to Member States all that has been achieved in the two years since the international launch. The report also takes stock of on-going UNESCO initiatives, established prior to the Decade, which are providing major contributions to the implementation of the DESD, and thus cannot be by-passed. Equally important are the recommendations to remedy problems in the implementation of the DESD and strengthen those measures that are working efficiently. Good practices in education for sustainable development: using the Earth Charter Année de publication: 2007 Auteur institutionnel: UNESCO | Earth Charter International Secretariat This publication has been envisioned to offer stories – case studies from around the world – that highlight how groups and individuals are using the Earth Charter as a tool for education for sustainable development. These stories come from non-formal and formal educational settings and describe a variety of experiences, including the development of guidebooks for primary school teachers, the inclusion of sustainability values in universities’ departments of education, law, engineering and general studies; the reshaping of local, regional and national curricula; and, the creation of vital and engaging programs and workshops for children and youth. Shaping the education of tomorrow: 2012 report on the UN decade of education for sustainable development, abridged Année de publication: 2012 Auteur institutionnel: UNESCO As the lead agency for the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD, 2005 – 2014), UNESCO is responsible for monitoring and evaluating progress during the DESD. UNESCO is publishing three reports during the DESD – in 2009, 2012 and 2014. This second report focuses specifically on processes and learning in the context of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). What kinds of learning processes have emerged in the course of the DESD? What is the role of ESD in supporting them? What changes in ESD have occurred since the early years of the Decade? The report is informed by a broad consultation process that includes input from hundreds of policy makers, scholars and practitioners engaged in ESD around the world. 
Echoing Voices: Tenth Anniversary of the Adoption of the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity Année de publication: 2011 Auteur institutionnel: UNESCO This founding text was the first to acknowledge cultural diversity as “the common heritage of humanity”. It is with great pride that UNESCO is commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Declaration. Commemorate – from the Latin cum memorare – means quite literally “to remember together” or “to remember with”. This collection is compiled the voices of all those who have contributed to the heightening of human awareness by throwing into relief the inestimable value of cultural diversity. These excerpts from books, articles and statements by global intellectual and political leaders, artists and Nobel Prize-winners all call for the safeguarding of cultural diversity, which is inseparable from respect for human dignity. Their voices resound in bearing witness to the strength of cultural diversity and to its capacity to enlighten the minds of women and men. We are duty-bound to ensure that it is central to public policies and a resource for development and dialogue among nations. The United Nations was born of the determination of men and women “to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war...”. In accordance with that principle, UNESCO was established on a key idea, expressed at the very beginning of its Constitution: “... since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed”. In the world today, globalized, connected and interdependent as never before, this mission is more vital than ever. The rapprochement of peoples and cultures requires a commensurately global awareness. Cultural diversity has always been at the heart of international relations. It is also, increasingly, a feature of the contemporary mixed and plural societies in which we live. In view of this reality, we must formulate appropriate public policies and rethink the mechanisms of social cohesion and civic participation. How can we build common ground on the basis of such diversity? How can we construct genuine moral and intellectual solidarity of humanity? Any new vision of humanism must be grounded itself in the dynamism and diversity of cultural heritage. It is a source of inspiration and knowledge to be shared and a means of broadening our horizons. The goal of the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity is to provide keys and benchmarks for capitalizing on this wealth. There can be no sustainable governance if cultural diversity is not acknowledged. There can be no economic and social development if specific features of every culture are belittled and ignored. Review of UNESCO culture sector's work on intercultural dialogue with a specific focus on: the general and regional histories, the slave route and cultural routes projects, plan Arabia, alliance of civilizations 'International vademecum' projects Année de publication: 2011 Auteur: Julie Carpenter Auteur institutionnel: UNESCO This review was commissioned from Education for Change Ltd by Internal Oversight Services (IOS) in UNESCO during June 2011 and completed in September 2011. The purpose of the review was to generate findings and recommendations regarding the relevance and effectiveness of the following priority initiatives on intercultural dialogue: • The General and Regional Histories (and related activities) • The Slave and Cultural Route projects (and related activities) • Plan Arabia • The Alliance of Civilizations (AoC) projects funded by the Government of Spain. The majority of activities in these flagship initiatives have been HQ-led and implemented with limited or no input from the field. Intersectoral work, essential to the effective implementation of the flagship initiatives and associated activities, was constrained by structural and budgeting factors common to most cross-sectoral work in UNESCO. Dissemination of the outputs of all the projects, with the possible exception of The Slave Route Project, has been a major and continuing challenge. The conception, writing, editing and direction of the Histories over more than 50 years have been the responsibility of an individual ISC for each History collection, supported by the UNESCO Secretariat in CLT. This highly participatory but complex process has caused delays and frustrations. However, the relevance of the Histories’ approach to history has not diminished over time. The interdisciplinary Histories have also been subject to the typical constraints within UNESCO of working across sectors. The use and re-use of the content in the Histories has recently been constrained by complex issues relating to co-publication and copyright covering volumes and illustrations and authors rights. The urgency of resolving these issues has arisen because of pressure from Member States to make the content of the Histories freely available online to enable access by institutions and individuals unable to afford the high costs of the published, printed volumes. The expensive printed formats selected for the Histories were predicated on the flawed assumption that university, college and public libraries exist in all countries that could afford to purchase relevant volumes and thus make available the content to researchers and the public. Overall effectiveness of these publications to date is impossible to measure, in terms of levels of takeup and use in universities or research for example, because over the years very limited data have been consistently or systematically collected, and little research or analysis has been done to determine the influence of the content of the Histories on written or broadcast material on history, on conference presentations etc. 2 Despite these constraints, the successful end in 2009 of this massive effort of developing, writing and publishing the history collections can and should be regarded as a significant achievement in itself, in which UNESCO has been effective in overcoming many problems and set-backs to achieve the completion of a project that only UNESCO itself, unique among all the international and UN bodies, could have achieved.
