Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) empowers learners to take informed decisions and responsible actions for environmental integrity, economic viability and a just society. It is therefore key to the future development of cities such as Shanghai, People’s Republic of China, which is a member of the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities (GNLC) and recognizes the importance of implementing ESD locally. With an aim to advance ESD in partner cities of the UNESCO GNLC, Shanghai representatives hosted a webinar in February 2021 to showcase its framework for promoting ESD and other environmental, health education and skills training initiatives. Over 70participants, including learning city officials worldwide and representatives of the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL), attended the event.

可持续发展教育（ESD）使学习者能够做出知情决策并采取负责任的行动，以实现环境完整、经济可行并创造一个公正的社会。因此，这对中华人民共和国上海等城市的未来发展至关重要。上海是联合国教科文组织全球学习型城市网络（GNLC）的成员，认识到了在当地实施可持续发展教育的重要性。为了在联合国教科文组织全球学习型城市网络的伙伴城市推进可持续发展教育，上海的代表于2021年2月举办了一次网络研讨会，展示其促进可持续发展教育以及其他有关环境教育、健康教育和技能培训倡议的框架。包括世界各地学习城市官员和联合国教科文组织终身学习研究所（UIL）代表在内的70多名参与者参加了此次网络研讨会。

The next webinar from the UNESCO GNLC ESD Cluster will take place on 22April 2021, hosted by the learning city of Hamburg, Germany. For more information on the UNESCO GNLC, visit itswebsite.

Implementing ESD at the local community level

在地方社区层面实施可持续发展教育

UIL’s Lifelong Learning Policy Development and Capacity Building Programme Team Lead, Mr Raúl Valdés-Cotera, opened the webinar by defining the term ‘local community’, which, he explained, was much more than a specific geographical region or location. Instead, Mr Valdés-Cotera stressed, a local community should be regarded as a living thing within which its members engage with the environment. He highlighted the importance of local ESD initiatives to help people confront global challenges such as climate change, environmental degradation, immigration and public health crises. Furthermore, he emphasized the importance of community awareness of and responses to marginalized groups in the promotion of ESD.
