Submission deadline: 10 August 2012
Background
In 2002, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 57/254
and declared the period 2005-2014 as the “United Nations Decade of
Education for Sustainable Development” (DESD) and made UNESCO the lead
agency in coordinating and promoting the implementation of the decade.
According to the United Nations General Assembly Headquarters in New
York on 1 March 2005, ESD is defined as a “dynamic and expansive
undertaking that envisions a world where every person has the chance to
benefit from educational opportunities and to learn the lifestyles,
behaviors and values necessary to create a sustainable future.”
A series of regional and national DESD launches followed the declaration
in different parts of the world. The DESD offers an opportunity to
promote the vision of a more sustainable and just global community
through different forms of education that enable individuals to develop
the understanding, knowledge, skills and values necessary to improve the
quality of life in a sustainable manner. ESD consists of three pillars
of sustainable development: society; environment; and economy. The
perspectives of ESD under each pillar are as follows:
Socio-Cultural perspectives: human rights, peace and human security,
gender equality, cultural diversity and intercultural understanding,
health, HIV/AIDS and governance.
Environmental perspectives: natural resources, biodiversity, climate
change, rural transformation, sustainable urbanization, and education
for disaster risk reduction and mitigation.
Economic perspectives: poverty reduction, corporate responsibility and accountability, and market economy.
In support of the DESD, the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education
Organization (SEAMEO) and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports,
Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT) in cooperation with UNESCO Asia and
Pacific Regional Bureau for Education and the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi
UFJ, Ltd. are pleased to announce the launch of the SEAMEO-Japan
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Award. The award will be
held every year from 2012 to 2014 to promote and share best practices in
ESD in schools across Southeast Asia.
The objectives of the SEAMEO-Japan ESD Award are:
To raise awareness of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in schools and communities across Southeast Asia;
To promote ESD best practices in schools and communities across Southeast Asia;

Theme for 2012: Education for Disaster Risk Reduction
