media and climate change
Media should support under-standing of sustainability issues by increasing public awareness – contribution of media, how much?
to strengthen ESD by focussing on climate change
APEC Conference
Increase public awareness and understanding about sustainable developmentand ESD, by mainstreaming and expanding the learning and insights gained in the firstfive years of the UN DESD into public awareness policies and programmes andvarious forms of informal learning.

More engagement from the media, a fact largely overlooked ; Germany
Politicians and the media should convince the public that ESD is the key to cope with the negative consequences of globalization; Germany
Unless all understand the concept no progress can be made and no others will follow with commitment ; Australia

In most countries across the world, the availability of public budgets and/or economic incentives is either non-existent or minimal at best …raising funds for ESD activities and projects is key to ensurethe successful achievement of the DESD, UNESCO 2009

# I don’t think UNESCO has had significant impact on things, at least as far as is apparent in headlines. Perhaps behind the scenes there have been pressures usefully brought to bear, UK
# to integrate an environmental consciousness into all public media, New Zealand
# intensive campaigning using mass media, India
# I am not sure public awareness is key. The history of Environmental Education shows that awareness does not necessarily lead to action. The deal is to practice sustainability on all levels, Switzerland
Results
EVALUATION OF UNESCO’s ACTION GOALS by 111 experts
Summary: SURVEY (big picture)Action Goals:satisfactory international results
gender equality
*Youth engage the commit-ment, solidarity and potential of youth and their organisations and networks in enhancing ESD
** *integrate ESD by involving
NGOs and development partners
* * approaches that involve the
scientific communities
****global syndromes:strengthening ESD by focussing on climate change: 78% of respondentsthink will be realized to 60% and more
Action Goals: these are dependent on promotion and support because they will be realized to less than a half
business and corporate sector

Summary: SURVEY (to-do list)
WHAT TO DO?
There is no real rethinking of education
Specific Barriers
no support by administration
Lack of political will and financial resources
DEFICITS
The public has not been linked to the process of implementing ESD
raise public awareness by making use of the media(after capacity-building)and form partnership with other stakeholders: especially at the centers of economic power
training of administrators and reformof teacher education towards ESD - focus on systemic thinking
Current Addendum: UNESCO global report on ESD, 2009
lackllack of human and financial resources difficulties in making linkages with ESD weak inter-sectoral collaboration
lack of appropriate tools for ESD and difficulties in assessing ESD
Which of the following outcomes of the COP-15 meeting in Copenhagen is most likely?

There will be an agreement that will besufficiently stringent to avoid majordamages
no international agreement
an agreement but it willnot be sufficiently stringent

COP-15 is not expected to result in a sufficiently stringent climate change agreement
