Britain: Young people take action on climate
change
Sixty per cent of young people, aged 8-14, are
concerned that the world will suffer the effects of climate change when they are adults
and more than seventy per cent of them already take action at home or school to save
energy, a new survey reveals today. The results are published as part of Friends of the
Earth's activity week for schools `Shout about climate change', which runs from 7-11
November 2005.

Tbilisi declaration (1977)
The world's first intergovernmental conference on environmental education was
organized by the United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) in cooperation with the U.N. Environment Programme (UNEP) and was
convened in Tbilisi, Georgia (USSR) from October 14-26, 1977.
Delegates
from 66 member states and observers from two nonmember states participated.
Representatives and observers from eight U.N. agencies and programs also
participated. Three other intergovernmental organizations and 20 international
nongovernmental organizations also were represented. In all, 265 delegates and
65 representatives and observers took part in the conference.
The Tbilisi
Declaration was adopted by acclamation at the close of the intergovernmental
conference. The declaration noted the unanimous accord in the important role of
environmental education in the preservation and improvement of the world's
environment, as well as in the sound and balanced development of the world's
communities.

Promoting a Secondary School Global Education Curriculum
Most secondary schools continue to embrace the
industrial model of education, placing students in traditional classrooms divided into
discrete academic disciplines. Does this established structure effectively represent the
increasing interconnectedness of species, products and ideas in the modern world? Recent
technological innovations have made communication a complex global enterprise; the shift
in the ways we produce, receive and process information invites a critical rethinking of
school curricula. This project...

Reflect and ICT Project
This DFID-funded project is exploring potential
applications of ICTs for poor and marginalised people, linking to existing Reflect groups
in Uganda, Burundi and India.
During the first year (2003), participating groups were encouraged to analyse issues
around their own access to and control of information relating to their livelihoods:
looking at the value of information to their own lives, the control of information

UNESCO:
Education for Sustainable Development
In December 2002, resolution 57/254 on the
United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014) was adopted by
the United Nations General Assembly and UNESCO was designated as lead agency for the
promotion of the Decade.
This site shares information on the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable
Development in close consultation and collaboration with our partners at local, national,
regional and international levels.

Education for Sustainability - Western Network
The Education for Sustainability Western Network
(“EFS West”) is a professional association of individuals and institutions
working to make sustainability a central focus of higher education in the western U.S. and
Canada. The network was founded in 2001 as a partnership with Second Nature.
We use the term “Education for
Sustainability” to refer to educating all who work, learn, or do business on college
campuses about the principles and practices of sustainability. The goal is to transform
higher education so that sustainability becomes “second nature.” By
sustainability we mean the process of working toward ecologically sound, economically
vibrant, healthy and equitable communities.

Agenda 21
Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken
globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System,
Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.
Agenda 21, the
Rio Declaration on
Environment and Development, and the Statement of
principles for the Sustainable Management of Forests were adopted by more than 178
Governments at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held
in Rio de Janerio, Brazil, 3 to 14 June 1992.
The Commission on Sustainable Development
(CSD) was created in December 1992 to ensure effective follow-up of UNCED, to monitor and
report on implementation of the agreements at the local, national, regional and
international levels. It was agreed that a five year review of Earth Summit progress would
be made in 1997 by the United
Nations General Assembly meeting in special session.
