First RCE Thematic Conference
The ‘First RCE Thematic Conference: Towards Achieving the SDGs’ was held in Okayama, Japan from 5-7 December, 2017. Jointly hosted by RCE Okayama, Okayama University and UNU-IAS, the thematic conference allowed for RCE members to meet, share ideas and explore Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) themes in greater depth. The themes covered were:
- Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
- Climate Change
- Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP)
In addition, plenary sessions on the development of ESD towards achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development were presented.
The conference allowed for RCEs to share their case studies and best practices relating to the themes, with workshops and capacity building sessions conducted alongside presentations on UN/international frameworks to provide both regional and international perspectives.
