SECOND
REGIONAL MEETING ON EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
-Task Force-
Rome,
Italy
Thursday, 15 July (afternoon) to Friday, 16 July 2004
The first
meeting of the Task Force set up a drafting group
to help prepare the final draft of the document for
the approval at its second meeting.
The drafting group
met four times and has prepared a draft strategy (CEP/AC.13/2004/8)
taking into account comments provided by member States
and stakeholders, including regional environmental
centers, international and non-governmental organizations.
The strategy is meant to serve as a flexible framework
and its implementation can be adapted to each country’s
priorities, specific needs and circumstances. Therefore,
the document reflects the main considerations expressed
by stakeholders and member States and is based on
a general consensus.
The Task Force amended
and approved the draft Strategy and submitted it to
the Committee on Environmental Policy at
its eleventh session for comments and endorsement.
The Task Force discussed
the practical aspects of implementing the strategy
in the region, based on a discussion paper prepared
by the secretariat (CEP/AC.13/2004/9). The Task Force
also discussed the proposal on joint high-level meeting
of Environment Ministries and Education Ministries
or equivalent State bodies responsible for education
in UNECE member States that might be convened to adopt
the strategy. Discussion was based on the note prepared
by the Secretariat. There was a general support for
holding such a meeting. The Task Force also endorsed
the proposed date, candidatures for officers and the
agenda of the meeting.
The drafting group
has also prepared two background documents: one on
past and ongoing international processes on education
for sustainable development (CEP/AC.13/2004/8/Add.1),
and another to clarify some terms used in the strategy
(CEP/AC.13/2004/8/Add.2). These documents were not
discussed and will not be revised. They are for information
only.
