A Situational analysis of Education for Sustainable Development in the Asia-Pacific Region

Abstract

This Situational Analysis of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in the Asia-Pacific Region was commissioned by the UNESCO Asia and Pacific Regional Bureau for Education and financed by Japanese Funds-in-Trust. The Situational Analysis provides a snapshot of ESD’s current state throughout Asia and the Pacific. The Analysis describes to what extent countries in the region have integrated ESD policies, programmes and practices into both formal and non-formal educational settings at the grassroots, sub-national and national levels. The knowledge gained from this Analysis has directly informed the development of the Working Paper: Asia-Pacific Regional Strategy for ESD. It will guide UNESCO’s project implementation and future project formulation, and will also help to create and strengthen regional partnerships and networks for ESD.
