Time
What is increasing, becoming more abundant?
Trends
What is decreasing, becoming more scarce?

The Next Generation Challenge
Provide adequately for 50% more people:• using less water• using less land• using fewer ocean food resources• leaving a smaller, less toxic waste streamwhile• tripling the global energy – (carbon free)• addressing new issues as they emerge• developing employable skill sets
![Page 8: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Evolving Concept of Sustainable Development
• environment• economic• social/culture Sustainable Development
Plus concepts of:• Intergenerational responsibility• Need verses greed /equity• Social justice, etc• Enough, For All, Forever
![Page 9: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Many Initiatives Necessary for SD
• Good legislation/governance• Economic incentives• Overcoming corruption • Environmental protection• Human rights/security• Infrastructure (roads to banking) • 40 issues identified in Agenda 21• Education, Public Awareness and Training is key Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)
![Page 11: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ESD
ESD is the contribution that the world’s
• education,
• public awareness/understanding, and
• training systems
can make to create a more sustainable future.
![Page 12: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005 to 2014)
• UN General Council Resolution Dec. 2002• UNESCO is the lead UN Agency• Mainly a coordinating role • Integrate with other Decades and programs• Mainly up to each country / state / institution /….• Much good news/progress
![Page 13: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The 4 Major Thrusts of ESD
• 1 Public awareness and understanding• 2 Access to quality basic education• 3 Reorienting existing education• 4 Training programs for all sectors
Agenda 21 -92, UNESCO-96, UNCSD -98, JPOI-2002
![Page 14: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Roles of Education for Sustainable Development1 Raising the Level of Public Awareness/Understanding
• Build public understanding• Informed citizenry – political support
& preparation for democratic change• Wise consumers• Raising the level of the discussion• Changing lifestyle where possible
![Page 15: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Public Awareness: e.g. Climate Change
![Page 16: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Non-Formal Ed and ESD
• Government Agencies• NGO’s• Faith-based institutions• Zoos, Botanical Gardens• Corporate trainers
Organizations with a message to tell• Deal largely with PA and training
![Page 21: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Contribution of Higher Ed and CCs
• Need to understand the impact• Historical perspective• Futures perspective• Develop the skills to manage SD• Assist society to cope with SD
(i.e. research, measuring, training etc.)
![Page 22: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Roles of Education for Sustainable Development
2-Access/Retention in Quality Ed.
• What is “quality education”?
• Is access really enough or do we strive for retention and successful lifelong learning?
![Page 23: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Access and Retention Issues
• 90 million children ages 6 to 11 never attend school in the developing countries
• 90% of school aged are in developing/emerging nations
• Millions more are “under- educated” in both the South and the North
![Page 24: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Northern Problem As Well
• Hard to serve students suffer• Preferred learning style other than reading• Poverty related issues• Irrelevant curricula• Home/family related issues• Student/school conflict
![Page 25: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Facilitating Adaptation Through Higher Education
• Accessing higher education• Knowledge-based society• Life-long learning• Technology transfer• Capacity building• Provide pre-service and in-service
assistance relating to both civil society and industry needs
• Questioning basic metaphors
![Page 26: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
3rd Role: Reorienting Existing Education
Most Educated nations =
deepest ecological footprint
![Page 27: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
We launch the Handprint, as a tool to indicate to ourselves the ESD actions we take. It is a tool that measures action at the individual, community, national and global level.

Reorienting Existing EducationMeans Addressing:
• Buildings• Curriculum• Practices and actions• What we value • What we evaluate• Modeling sustainability
![Page 29: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Higher Ed
• Many Roles for Higher Ed• 1% - 90%• Better “metrics”/ research• Need to see the “bigger picture”• Sharing of data• Ecologically oriented fiscal reform• Develop and use regulatory tools• Link the disciplines (environment and health)
![Page 30: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The 4th Role of ESD - Training
• Training in sustainable development
- (public and private sectors alike)• HE and especially teacher education • Capacity building – agriculture etc.• Technology transfer between nations• Implementing innovative practices
![Page 31: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Strengths Model: a starting point
• No single discipline/group/teacher/employee can do it all
• Every discipline/group/teacher/employee can contribute something
• Some individuals or sectors can take lead roles in directing/managing the reorientation
• Leadership and coordination of these “strengths” are key as we “learn” our way forward
•

Systemic Issues and Challenges to Moving ESD Forward
Lacking• vision and awareness• policy or mandate• society’s expectation• funding and resources• training programs• crowded curriculum• research base
![Page 35: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
New Learning Perspectives
• Traditional – Learning as “acquisition” model
Knowledge, solutions, true/false right/wrong
• Plus – Learning as “participation” model”
complexity, reflexive, reflection, negotiation
• And – Learning as a “response model" ambiguity in world, taking charge-life, tolerance, engagement

Bonn Declaration: Mid point of UNDESD
• What has been accomplished?
• What is the vision?
• What needs to be done?
![Page 39: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Bringing Bonn to the world
• What are the opportunities ?
• What are the obligations ?
![Page 40: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
A Question for All Societies
What should our citizens:• know,• be able to do,• and value,throughout their lives?
Implications for life-long learning and training needs ofsociety are the responsibility of the current society
![Page 41: ESD and Creating a Sustainable Future Implications and Opportunities: The Bonn Declaration 2009 Charles Hopkins UNESCO & UN University Chairs York University,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649eba5503460f94bc256f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
