Roadmap for the RCE community 2021-2030

Having delivered Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) to regional and local communities worldwide through the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (UN DESD 2005-2014) and the Global Action Programme on ESD (GAP 2015-2019), the global movement of Regional Centres of Expertise on ESD (RCEs), acknowledged and promoted by the United Nations University (UNU) with support of partner organisations, hereby reaffirms its commitment to creating a sustainable world under the UN 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and beyond. Inspired by the visions of the Tongyeong (2012) and Okayama (2014) Declarations on RCEs and ESD1, an RCE is a network of existing formal and non-formal education organisations mobilised to deliver ESD in the region or locality where it is situated. The Global RCE Service Centre headquartered at the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS), with support of the Ubuntu Committee of Peers for the RCEs2 and in consultation with the Global RCE Network, availed of these valuable experiences for developing the Roadmap for the RCE Community 2021-2030. Individual RCE operations and collectively those of the Global RCE Network are expected to conform to principles of good ethical behaviour and practices, as well as to the values of the UN and UNU Charters. Hence, the document entitled Guiding Principles for the RCE Community was adopted on 4 November 2014, and any subsequent updates thereof, shall be an integral part of the Roadmap.
