South-Eastern Europe regional synthesis: climate change, displacement and the right to education Год публикации: 2023 Организация-автор: UNESCO In 2021 alone, 23.7 million people were displaced in 137 countries and territories due to natural disasters, which the scientific community has recognized have become more frequent and intense due to climate change. Climate change and displacement is currently taking place in Europe, with particularly disastrous consequences in South-Eastern Europe due to regional specificities. Comparative country case studies were carried out in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Moldova, and Serbia, as they exemplify clear, present patterns of climate displacement, to examine the impacts of climate change on the right to education in the region. The case studies show that climate change directly threatens education through the destruction of schools and property. It also indirectly puts learning in peril by leading people across borders where their legal residency nor right to education is ensured. This publication aims to guide policy-makers by providing recommendations on how to ensure the protection of the right to education in South-Eastern Europe in the face of climate change and displacement. It is one of four regional reports that will lead to the development of a global report providing global policy guidance.
Central America and the Caribbean regional synthesis: climate change, displacement and the right to education Год публикации: 2023 Организация-автор: UNESCO From rising sea level to drought and increasingly frequent natural disasters - the effects of climate change are well-known today. However, its effect on human mobility is just coming to the forefront of the political discussion. In 2020 alone, 30.7 million people globally were displaced by natural disasters. Central America and the Caribbean region is prone to the effects of climate change and displacement due to its socioeconomic characteristics and geographic location. Country case studies were carried out in the Bahamas, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and Jamaica to examine the impacts on the right to education in the region. The research shows that climate change directly threatens education through the destruction of schools and property. It also leads people across borders where their legal residency and right to education are not guaranteed. This report aims to guide policy-makers on how to ensure education is protected in the face of climate change and displacement. The report is one of four being developed and will contribute to UNESCO’s global initiative on climate change, displacement and the right to education. It will inform the development of a Global Report with policy recommendations.
World Heritage: A Unique Contribution to Biodiversity Conservation Год публикации: 2023 Организация-автор: UNESCO | International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) The UNESCO World Heritage Convention is unique among international agreements as it deals with both natural and cultural heritage. By conferring one of the highest levels of protection recognized by 195 countries, it ensures a truly global commitment to safeguarding exceptional places. UNESCO natural World Heritage sites are critical for the conservation of ecosystem integrity and biodiversity. While they make up less than 1% of the Earth’s surface, they harbor more than 1/5 of mapped global species richness. This includes over 75,000 species of plants, and over 30,000 species of mammals, birds, fishes, reptiles and amphibians. Cultural World Heritage sites in particular can be an important ally in biodiversity conservation since around 20% of them are located in Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs). UNESCO World Heritage sites also represent a safe haven for some of the most threatened species on Earth. They are estimated to protect over 20,000 globally threatened species, and are home to some of the last individuals of many iconic species. Today, up to 1/3 of remaining elephants, tigers and pandas can be found in these sites, as well as at least 1 in 10 great apes, giraffes, lions and rhinos. However, even these highly protected sites are today threatened by global climate change and human pressures, including agricultural expansion, infrastructure development, poaching, overexploitation of resources and the proliferation of invasive species. Every 1°C increase in temperature could double the number of species exposed to dangerous climate conditions. Ensuring effective and sustained protection of UNESCO World Heritage sites and surrounding landscapes is crucial for maximizing their value as a solution to tackle the current biodiversity and climate crisis. One way of achieving this is by supporting countries to integrate World Heritage into their National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), as they are key to implementing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF).
Patrimonio mundial: Una contribución única a la conservación de la biodiversidad Год публикации: 2023 Организация-автор: UNESCO | International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) La Convention du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO est un instrument unique parmi les accords internationaux, car elle traite à la fois du patrimoine naturel et culturel. En conférant l’un des plus hauts niveaux de protection reconnu par 195 pays, elle garantit un engagement véritablement mondial en faveur de la sauvegarde de lieux exceptionnels. Les sites naturels du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO sont essentiels à la conservation de l’intégrité des écosystèmes et de la biodiversité. Alors qu’ils représentent moins de 1 % de la surface terrestre, ils abritent plus d’un cinquième de la richesse mondiale des espèces cartographiées, soit plus de 75 000 espèces de plantes et plus de 30 000 espèces de mammifères, d’oiseaux, de poissons, de reptiles et d’amphibiens. Les sites culturels du patrimoine mondial, en particulier, peuvent être des alliés importants pour la conservation de la biodiversité, car près de 20 % d’entre eux sont situés dans des zones clés pour la biodiversité (ZCB). Les sites du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO représentent également un refuge pour certaines espèces parmi les plus menacées de la planète. On estime qu’ils protègent plus de 20 000 espèces menacées à l’échelle mondiale et qu’ils abritent certains des derniers individus de nombreuses espèces emblématiques. Aujourd’hui, jusqu’à un tiers des éléphants, tigres et pandas restants se trouvent dans ces sites, ainsi qu’au moins un grand singe, une girafe, un lion et un rhinocéros sur dix. Cependant, même ces sites hautement protégés sont aujourd’hui menacés par le dérèglement climatique mondial et les pressions humaines, notamment l’expansion de l’agriculture, le développement des infrastructures, le braconnage, la surexploitation des ressources et la prolifération d’espèces envahissantes. Chaque augmentation de température de 1°C pourrait doubler le nombre d’espèces exposées à des conditions climatiques dangereuses. Il est essentiel d’assurer une protection effcace et durable des sites du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO et des paysages environnants pour maximiser leur valeur en tant que solution à la crise actuelle de la biodiversité et du climat. L’un des moyens d’y parvenir est d’aider les pays à intégrer le patrimoine mondial dans leurs stratégies et plans d’action nationaux pour la biodiversité (SPANB), car ils sont essentiels à la mise en œuvre du Cadre mondial pour la biodiversité (CMB) de Kunming-Montréal.

National Capacity Building on Inventorying the Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Arab Republic of Egypt Год публикации: 2024 Автор: Ahmed Bahi El Din | Haitham Younes Организация-автор: UNESCO | UNESCO Cairo Communities in Egypt are inventorying their living heritage Egypt is famed for its rich civilization and long history. Egyptian identity is presented not only through archaeological sites and Ancient Egyptian civilization, but also through Egypt’s diverse living heritage. More than simply showing who they are today, this living heritage tells the story of how the Egyptians arrived at this point over the generations.To celebrate this identity and strengthen national capacities to safeguard it, UNESCO, alongside the Egyptian government and civil society, implemented the project Strengthening National Capacities for Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage in Egypt for Sustainable Development, which ran from June 2018 to June 2021.The project focused on community-based inventorying of living heritage. This involved training workshops and a pilot community-based inventorying exercise, which took place in six different locations throughout Egypt (Cairo, Fayoum, Gharbeya, Aswan, Assuit, and Marsa Matrouh). Thanks to the project, participating community practitioners and heritage bearers are now equipped to inventory their own living heritage. • This pilot was Egypt’s first step to establishing a national inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) under the Ministry of Culture, in collaboration with community practitioners. • This publication provides recommendations on how to further enhance national capabilities for ICH safeguarding and how to advance community engagement in the inventorying processes in Egypt.

Because youth perspectives matter: UNESCO toolbox for youth policy and programming Год публикации: 2023 Организация-автор: UNESCO <Short summary>Placing trust in youth voicesYoung people fear for their future. Pandemics, conflict, climate change, inequality – these are the issues defining their reality.Yet their potential to provide solutions to the multiple crises is not realized. From low representation and tokenistic approaches, to institutional obstacles to participation and limited civic spaces, young people are disconnected from influencing decisions and actions that affect their lives. They need real opportunities to participate in decision-making and contribute to practical solutions.Policy-makers, public officials and practitioners – as well as development sector and civil society actors – can and should create such opportunities for youth. This Toolbox is a comprehensive go-to resource to make that possible. It is intended to support these stakeholders in designing and implementing effective policies and programmes to address the multidimensional needs of youth at national and local levels.It consists of:• A guide for participatory youth policy design;• Intergenerational dialogue tools on holistic youth development and youth civic engagement; and• A training tool on meaningful youth engagement. Together, we can prove that youth perspectives matter.
Enhancing our heritage toolkit 2.0: assessing management effectiveness of World Heritage properties and other heritage places Год публикации: 2023 Организация-автор: UNESCO | International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) | International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) | International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) <Short summary>EoH 2.0 toolkit helps assess management effectiveness in World Heritage places World Heritage properties are internationally recognized as places of Outstanding Universal Value that should benefit from the highest level of management effectiveness. Despite the best efforts to conserve these places for present and future generations, many are under threat from a range of factors. These include inappropriate development, mass tourism, pollution, resource extraction or climate change, to name but a few.What can be done to better respond to factors negatively affecting World Heritage places? Do management processes influence conservation results? If so, how can critical management weaknesses be identified and improved?The Enhancing Our Heritage Toolkit 2.0 offers a self-assessment methodology to evaluate management effectiveness in a World Heritage property or other heritage place. It contains 12 tools that can be used separately or collectively to understand in detail what is working well and what can be done better. To facilitate their use, the tools are accompanied by worksheets, in the form of either a template to help compile information in a systematic way or a questionnaire, both of which can be adapted to the specific needs of each heritage place.The Toolkit supports managers in identifying ways to improve conservation practices, management processes and resource allocation – particularly if used before reviewing or updating management plans. While there is a focus on World Heritage, it can be applied to all heritage places, whether natural, cultural or combinations of both.
Safe, seen and included: report on school-based sexuality education Год публикации: 2023 Организация-автор: UNESCO <Short summary>Why we must empower all learners through inclusive comprehensive sexuality education This report highlights the critical need for inclusive comprehensive sexuality education that embraces diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions to create a safe and inclusive learning environment for all learners. While progress has been made globally in promoting and implementing high-quality comprehensive sexuality education, there are still shortcomings in evidence-based curriculum and delivery, and discrimination based on sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions remains prevalent and harmful.Through insightful analysis, case studies and exemplary practices from various countries, this report offers valuable recommendations to policy-makers, educators, and civil society groups. It emphasizes the significance of pre-service and in-service teacher training, as well as effective monitoring, to ensure the wellbeing of learners in all their diversity. By embracing these recommendations, we can unlock the gendertransformative power of education, fostering holistic development and providing a supportive space for all learners.
