Escuelas asociadas de la UNESCO news infos: educación sobre el cambio climático Год публикации: 2009 Организация-автор: UNESCO As the United Nations Climate Change Conference takes place on December 7 to 18 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark, this special issue will focus on selected climate change education activities carried out by the ASP network around the globe. Climate change is one of the most urgent challenges of sustainable development and a key action theme in the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD). ASPnet schools around the world work on Climate Change Education in order to enable students to make informed and responsible decisions, turn passive awareness into behaviour change and make sustainable behaviours a daily habit. The development of good practices and innovative educational materials in climate change education is a key element in ASPnet’s strategy to meet the pressing educational needs of the future generation. This newsletter highlights only a few of the large number of activities of ASPnet worldwide.
Fostering safer and resilient communities: a natural disaster preparedness and climate change education program Год публикации: 2009 Организация-автор: UNESCO Jakarta The Asia and the Pacific region is vulnerable to many natural disaster and expected impacts from climate change. In 2006, 74% of people killed by natural disasters were in Asia, with Afghanistan, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Vietnam among the countries most badly affected. Natural disasters such as windstorms, floods, droughts, earthquakes in combination with human-induced conditions such as deforestation, pollution, soil erosion collectively contribute to serious challenges for communities and governments. Climate change impacts are imminent and inevitable. The consensus among natural and social scientists, economists, and policymakers is that climate change is the most important challenge that this planet faces. It is pervasive, touching on every facet of the environment and human life including the environment, economy, transportation, communication, food production, and health. The temporal and geographic scale is wide. The projected economic, health, and societal costs put forth by experts are extraordinary. For example, the total economic cost of climate change threats could be an annual loss of 6-7% of Southeast Asian countries’ GDP by the end of the century, and the Pacific sub-region will see a sea-level rise of 0.19-0.58 meter by 2100 severely changing the lives of more than 50% of the people that live within 1.5 km of the shoreline leading to relocation, water and power shortages, and submerged infrastructure. Climate change impacts in Asia and the Pacific is particularly serious because of the fact that: 1) over 60% of the global population reside in Asia and the Pacific; 2) it has the most extensive coastline of any geographic region; and, 3) many of the world’s largest cities are located along Asian coasts. The impact of climate change in sea level rise would impact small island states such as the Maldives and Kiribati, and many of Asia’s largest coastal cities, such as Jakarta, Bangkok, Manila, Shanghai, and Ho Chi Minh City. Tens of millions of people in Asia may have to be resettled. Further, the expected greater intensity of cyclones and typhoons could have a larger impact than before on Bangladesh, China, India, Vietnam, and the Philippines, whose coastal areas already encounter among the world’s worst weather-related disasters year after year. Parts of many countries in Asia, including Northwestern India, Western China, and almost all of Pakistan, are already suffering from shortages of water, as well as land degradation and desertification, which will be further exacerbated by climate change. The World Conference on Disaster Reduction held in January 2005 in Kobe, Japan, adopted the Framework for Action 2005-2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters (referred as the “Hyogo Framework for Action” – HFA). The framework emphasizes the need to understand the linkages between disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation, and that stakeholders work toward reducing disaster vulnerabilities of communities by helping them build their capacity to deal with disasters.
Ecoles associées de l'UNESCO news infos: l'éducation au changement climatique Год публикации: 2009 Организация-автор: UNESCO As the United Nations Climate Change Conference takes place on December 7 to 18 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark, this special issue will focus on selected climate change education activities carried out by the ASP network around the globe.

Apprendre à atténuer et adapter au changement climatique: l'UNESCO et éducation au changement climatique Год публикации: 2009 Организация-автор: UNESCO Ce rapport est le résultat du séminaire international de l'UNESCO sur le changement climatique Education au Siège de l'UNESCO à Paris, 27-29 Juillet 2009. Au cours des 30 dernières années, l'UNESCO a contribué activement à la construction de la base de connaissances mondiale sur le changement climatique. Principalement au moyen de sa contribution à la science du climat (systèmes d'observation des océans mondiaux, l'évaluation et suivi) et secondairement par l'éducation la promotion, le développement des capacités, la sensibilisation du public et l'accès à l'information. Comme le Gestionnaire des tâches du chapitre 36 d'Action 21 - qui a trait à la promotion de l'éducation, la sensibilisation du public et de la formation - et organisme chef de file pour la Décennie des Nations Unies pour l'éducation au développement durable (DEDD, 2005-2014), l'Organisation joue un rôle de premier plan dans la promotion de l'éducation pour le développement durable (EDD). Le changement climatique est l'un des thèmes d'action clés de la Décennie, comme cela a été réaffirmé à l'éducation Worldconférenceon pour le développement durable tenu à Bonn en Avril 2009. L'éducation a un rôle central à jouer dans la compréhension, atténuation et l'adaptation au changement climatique. Alors que l'éducation à tous les niveaux et dans les deux contextes formels et informels est nécessaire, instillant la sensibilisation au changement climatique et de la compréhension à un jeune âge est finalement la meilleure façon de changer les comportements et les attitudes. Qu'est-ce que les enfants apprennent aujourd'hui façonneront le monde de demain. Grâce au programme de travail de New Delhi - qui est un programme d'action souple axée sur les pays engageant toutes les parties prenantes sur l'éducation, la formation et la sensibilisation du public sur le changement climatique, l'UNESCO soutient ses États membres à mettre en œuvre l'article 6 de la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques. De même, le Plan UNESCO amélioré d'action pour la Stratégie d'action sur les changements climatiques reconnaît l'importance et présente action pour l'éducation dans la promotion de l'atténuation et l'adaptation au changement climatique.
