SUMMARY:Education for sustainable development and global health: Recognizing the inter-linkage of the health of people and the planet
DESCRIPTION:In preparation of the UNESCO World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development on 17-19 May 2021\, in Berlin\, Germany\, in which ESD for 2030 framework will be officially launched\, UNESCO is organizing a series of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) online workshops in cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Education and Research of Germany\, and with the German Commission for UNESCO as advisory partner. The aim is to explore how ESD contributes to building a world that is more sustainable and equitable\, and how ESD provides the basis for how to recover and rebuild beyond the Covid-19 pandemic. \n\n\n  \n\n\nOur natural environment provides us with the essentials we need to survive and thrive in this world. Access to clean water and air\, healthy nutrition and the absence of natural catastrophes are very obvious examples of how environmental conditions will directly impact not only our life expectancy\, but also our quality of life. However\, there are also more complex interlinkages between the health of people and planet. \nMore people now understand how climate change and extreme weather conditions\, the loss of biodiversity and pollution significantly increase the likelihood of emerging new and zoonotic diseases (diseases that transfer from wild animals onto humans). The change of our environment effects the emergence and the progression of infectious disease as currently Covid-19 or also Ebola. But also non-communicable disease (NCDs) – diseases which develop over time due to certain lifestyles or environmental factors\, mental health\, nutrition\, displacement and general wellbeing – are highly connected to our natural environment. Conversely\, research shows that a strong connection to nature can improve wellbeing and general health. \nESD contributes to human health by promoting knowledge\, skills\, values and attitudes on the interlinkages between the environment and human wellbeing\, in particular around issues such as climate change\, zoonosis\, pollution\, sustainable food\, and social and emotional wellbeing. \nIn the light of the above\, this session will address the following questions: \n\nWhat are the interlinkages of between the health of the planet and people?\nHow can ESD contribute to strengthen the awareness that protecting the planet’s health affects humans’ health?\n\nRegister for this event here.

SUMMARY:50by40 Global Engagement Summit
DESCRIPTION:Recent publications\, such as the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land and the EAT-Lancet report highlighted the exigency to reduce our reliance on livestock production and consumption. Thus\, there is an urgent need to facilitate a just transition towards a fair\, healthy and compassionate food system\, delivering nutritious and predominantly plant-based food for all. However\, transforming one of the most deeply embedded systems in this world presents complex and interlinked challenges. \nWith the 50by40 Global Engagement Summit | Voices for a Better Food Future\, we aim to gather voices from across the globe to collectively examine these challenges and\, as a result\, turn them into opportunities to accomplish the change we strive for. \nHosting an accessible virtual gathering provides us with a rare chance to bring together a range of actors working in the food systems to develop a strong and united approach addressing livestock production. With a strong emphasis on mobilising diverse key players\, NGOs\, and communities\, the summit looks into solutions for the planet’s most pressing issues. #FoodEngage20 \n \nFor more information and registration please Click Here.

SUMMARY:ESD for 2030 Roadmap Regional Launch
DESCRIPTION:UNESCO is organizing regional online launch events of the ESD for 2030 Roadmap which provides guidance for Member States and other stakeholders for the implementation of the new global framework ‘Education for Sustainable Development: Towards achieving the SDGs’ (ESD for 2030): \n\n\nEducation for Sustainable Development (ESD) supports efforts to equip learners with the knowledge\, skills\, values and attitudes needed to contribute to a more inclusive\, just\, peaceful and sustainable world. In its Resolution 72/222 in 2017\, the UN General Assembly recognized ESD as ‘an integral element of the SDG on quality education and a key enabler of all the other SDGs’ and reaffirmed UNESCO’s role as the lead agency on ESD. \n\n\n\n\nTo enhance the global efforts on ESD\, the new framework ‘Education for Sustainable Development: Towards achieving the SDGs’ (ESD for 2030) was approved by the 40th UNESCO General Conference and acknowledged by the 74th UN General Assembly in its Resolution 74/233. The new framework ESD for 2030 (2020-2030) builds on the Global Action Programme on ESD (2015 – 2019)\, which followed the UN Decade on ESD (2005-2014)\, and focuses on streamlining ESD within the 2030 Agenda to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals within the next ten years. \nUNESCO has developed a Roadmap which provides guidance for Member States and other stakeholders for the implementation of ESD for 2030. With the postponement of the UNESCO World Conference on ESD from June 2020 to May 2021 due to the pandemic\, UNESCO is organizing regional online launch events of the ESD for 2030 roadmap for implementation. \nProgramme (75min)\n• Opening remarks\n• Introduction of the new ESD for 2030 framework and the Roadmap for implementation\n• Panel discussion: ESD for 2030 – ongoing efforts\, key challenges and opportunities in the region\n• Q&A\n• Closing remarks \nLanguages: English/Russian \n*Link to the Roadmap will be sent to all registered participants prior to the event. \nRegister online

SUMMARY:EcoDistricts Webinar Series: Centering Culture and Healing in Community Development
DESCRIPTION:EcoDistricts is thrilled to be joined by Nella Young and Meghan Venable-Thomas of Enterprise Community Partners\, for our next EcoDistricts Webinar on November 18th at 11 AM PST/2 PM EST. \nHistorically\, the housing sector has evaluated community development impact through the lens of the number of units produced or preserved. However\, research demonstrates that brick and mortar alone do not cultivate thriving\, sustainable communities. Housing and community development without a comprehensive understanding of residents’ collective lived experience and inherent strengths have significant potential for harmful community disruption\, cultural erasure\, and perpetual trauma. By cultivating community development practices centered on resident’s culture\, creativity\, and healing\, practitioners can fortify the inherent cultural knowledge\, tools\, and practices that make residents intrinsically resilient. \nResident participation\, cultural leadership\, and community buy-in are fundamental to successful projects. An inclusive process enables the project to be more reflective of community needs and benefits. Investing in trust-building with the community can also mitigate community objection and create momentum for future development processes. This saves time and resources\, and increases shared ownership over public spaces\, social accountability for upkeep and safety\, and a sense of belonging for residents. \nIn this webinar\, Meghan and Nella will share their lens on cultural resilience and talk about how advancing community cultural equity\, stewarding organizational development with a cultural lens\, and facilitating space and tools for collective healing can be part of how we define and invest in community resilience.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Instructor\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNella Young\nshe/her\nSenior Program Director for the Cultural Resilience Initiatives at Enterprise. \nNella works nationally with community development organizations and practitioners to cultivate practices that center residents’ and practitioners’ culture\, creativity\, and healing. In this role\, she facilitates collaboration between non-arts systems and artists\, designers\, local culture bearers\, and place-keepers in service of community well-being\, leveraging her curiosity and love of people to bridge silos of practice and to leverage creative and cultural expression as a force for greater social cohesion\, resilience\, and equity.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeghan Venable-Thomas\nshe/her\nCultural Resilience Program Director at Enterprise \nMeghan works to uplift community-driven approaches for healthy and equitable community development. In this role\, she supports equitable community investment by creating environments for healing-centered approaches\, collaboration\, lifting residents’ voices\, and building social cohesion. Her vision is one where people and communities are not solely strengthened by their adaptive capacity or resilience in the face of trauma and disaster but by their exposure to opportunity\, inclusivity\, and agency in the governance of their own life circumstances.
