Preface
In March 2005, the United Nations declared 2005 to 2014 as the United Nations Decade of
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), and UNESCO has been tasked to lead the
Decade.
To contribute to this initiative, the Asia-Pacific Programme of Educational Innovation for
Development (APEID) in UNESCO Asia and Pacific Regional Bureau for Education in Bangkok,
Thailand, has organized several meetings to identify and conceptualize key content areas for
ESD, and to recommend guidelines for reorienting existing education programmes in these
areas, under the Mobile Training Team project with the support of the Japanese Funds-in-
Trust.
A key outcome of the meetings is the establishment of the Asia-Pacific Regional Network
of Teacher Education Institutes for ESD (ESD-Net) to coordinate efforts to incorporate ESD
concepts, principles and values into their pre-service teacher education curricula, and to
develop relevant teaching and learning materials. Based on requests from Member States
in the Asia-Pacific region, some thematic issues were identified as priority areas, including
climate change, natural disaster preparedness, environmental protection, human and
food security, HIV/AIDS prevention, gender sensitizing, peace education and inter-cultural
understanding.
Subsequently, regional and national-level capacity building workshops were conducted to
share good practices and lessons learned in incorporating these ESD-related themes into
two specific school subjects – science and social studies. More importantly, the workshop
participants found the materials, pedagogies and processes developed and used in the
training workshops to be valuable, relevant and practical.
Representing the collective effort of facilitators, deans and directors of teacher education
institutions, teacher educators and teachers, these teaching and learning materials are now
available in this series of publications,
Reorienting Teacher Education to Address Sustainable
Development: Guidelines and Tools
. We hope that they will be a useful reference for educators
and teachers seeking to instil and inculcate sustainable development concepts, principles
and values into the minds of their students.
