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.

SUMMARY:Help Metro Fulfill its Parks and Nature Promises!
DESCRIPTION:Metro is seeking members for an independent community advisory committee to provide oversight of the $475 million nature bond passed by voters last November. Our coalition played an important role in passing this exciting regional bond. Now let’s show up to keep Metro accountable and transparent in its use of the funds and in program delivery.  \nIntertwine Alliance partners\, we encourage you to apply for a seat on the committee by the deadline of Monday\, Nov. 16\, at midnight. If you do\, please let us know by emailing Communications Manager Tara Wilkinson at tara@theintertwine.org. \nPlease also share this opportunity with anyone fitting Metro’s position description of “individuals who are deeply committed to advancing racial equity and have experience in areas such as finance\, conservation\, tribal sovereignty\, and other topics.” \nThe bond supports projects that protect clean water\, healthy habitat and access to nature. Any project funded by the bond must fulfill three criteria: advancing racial equity\, climate resilience and community engagement. \nThe 2019 parks and nature bond measure supports these programs: \n\nProtect and restore land\, $155 million\nLocal parks and nature projects\, $92 million\nNature in Neighborhoods capital grants\, $40 million\nMetro parks improvements\, $98 million\nWalking and biking trails\, $40 million\nLarge-scale community visions\, $50 million\n\nWe encourage you to get involved. Let’s continue working together as a coalition on this important regional effort. Again\, for more information click here.
