• Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)

ESD is UNESCO’s education response to the urgent and dramatic challenges the planet faces. UNESCO Beijing contributes to ESD policy dialogue, capacity development and best practices sharing in East Asia. ESD empowers learners of all ages with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to address the interconnected global challenges, including climate change, environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, poverty and inequality. In Mach 2023, over 100 participants from East and Southeast Asia region participated in the ESD Regional Consultation to review progress made in the implementation of ESD for 2030 Framework, Greening Education Initiative, ESD-Net   and   ESD  for   2030   Country Initiative. In Mongolia, a Japanese Funds-in-Trust (JFIT) pilot project on ESD2030 was launched in 2021 to assess the status and strengthen ESD at all levels. In Japan, the government approved ESD as a national Policy to implement at all levels of the education system. ESD theme and activities were promoted in over 1,500 ASPnet schools in the region. ESD is recognized as an integral element of SDG 4 on quality education and a key enabler of all other SDGs. Over 1000 ESD experts and youth were trained in East Asian countries. Over 200 experts participated in the United Nations University (UNU) Regional ESD Centres of Expertise.

TVET is critical to socio-economic development, connecting education and the world of work. UNESCO Beijing supports countries in East Asia in quality TVET systems that address economic, social and environmental demands by helping youth and adults develop skills they need for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship. UNESCO Beijing partnered with ICHEI and universities to advance the digitalization of countries in East Asia. The TVET Sector Policy Review in Mongolia was critical in advancing the TVET Sector to satisfy the needs of the labour market. UNESCO Beijing also facilitated policy dialogue and knowledge sharing of TVET best practices through the UNEVOC Centres, with engagement of over 500 TVET experts. 3 new UNEVOC Centres were established in Mongolia.
