Regional Centres of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development (RCEs on ESD) is a regional network of existing institutions and individuals, committed to using education and learning as tools for building a sustainable future.
The 10th Global RCE Conference, held in Yogyakarta, Indonesia from 23-25 November 2016, discussed strategies to make substantial contributions to the Global Action Programme (GAP) on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
As 2017 will be an important year marking the mid-term of the GAP, the Conference also aimed to reflect on the achievements and challenges of RCEs and discussed how RCEs can accelerate their actions by engaging and working with local communities. RCEs are best positioned to translate global sustainable development policy and vision into local realities and undertake actions that are sensitive to the global, regional and local context.
The 2017 Conference "Education for the Implementation of the SDGs: RCE Thematic Conference Biodiversity, Climate Change, SCP (Food Systems)" will be held on 5-7 December 2017 in Japan (exact location TBC). For more information click here.
