Hållbara kryssningsturismdestinationer i Arktis

Projektet syftar till att utforska sätt där små arktiska samhällen kan leva med kryssningsturism på ett mer hållbart sätt. Vi använder samskapande metoder för att generera kunskap som samhällen kan implementera för att få mer kontroll över utvecklingen av kryssningsturismen och därmed försträrka en hållbar utveckling av hälsosamma miljöer och mänskliga samhällen.

BONUS MIRACLE - Mediating integrated actions for sustainable ecosystems services in a changing climate

The overall objective of the BONUS MIRACLE project was to enact a social learning process that would lead to the identification of new governance configurations to reduce nutrient enrichment while providing multiple ecosystem services to diverse stakeholders in the Baltic Sea Region. The intention was to foster a process that acknowledged the need for an integrated approach to ecosystem services as a novel governance approach. To achieve this objective, learning platforms between project researchers and stakeholders were created in four case study areas, namely Berze (Latvia), Reda (Poland), Helgeå (Sweden), and Selke (Germany). Through these platforms, we facilitated deliberations among stakeholders, developed roadmaps and identified new models of cooperation and governance (conceptual, institutional and practice-based) with consideration to the need of adaptation to climate change.

BONUS RETURN - Reducing Emissions by Turning Nutrients and Carbon into Benefits

The aim of BONUS RETURN was to improve the adaptation and adoption of eco-technologies in the Baltic Sea Region for increased efficiency and co-benefits. SWEDESD’s role was to foster co-learning processes between the project researchers and a diverse constellation of stakeholders in 3 case study areas (Fyrisån, Sweden; Vantaanjoki, Finland and Slupia, Poland) through the development and facilitation of an innovative decision support tool in the form of a Serious Game System (SGS). SWEDESD worked in close cooperation with the Department of Game Design at Uppsala University in the development process of the SGS.

Advanced Regional Training Programme (ARTP) in Southern Africa

Advanced Regional Training Programme (ARTP) in Education For Sustainable Development (ESD) For Ecce, Primary and Tvet Teacher Educators in Southern Africa

This project aimed to provide capacity building to support educators for the implementation of Target 4.7 of SDG 4, which requires educators to integrate Education for Sustainable Development into all areas of education. The project focused on southern Africa, which is one of the region’s most at risk from climate change and the ongoing impacts of poverty.

Together with national, regional and international partners, UNESCO carried out activities under this project to achieve the following expected results in 11 Southern African countries (Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe).

Sustainability principles integrated into education and training environments, with emphasis on curriculum change in Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) College programmes
ESD capacity of teacher and TVET institutions enhanced via an Advanced ESD Regional Training Programme (ARTP)
ESD reinforced in national and international education and sustainable development policies, with emphasis on policies influencing the education of teachers and TVET educators for Goal 4 of the SDGs (Target 4.7)
ESD Professional Networks strengthened in southern Africa
Science education and uptake of science related careers enhanced through ESD integration and engagement

The project was built partly on 'Sustainability Starts with Teachers', an ESD Action Learning Programme for Secondary Teacher Educators in Southern Africa in 2017 and 2018. This GAP flagship programme has shown good results with participating TEIs completing Change Projects that show evidence of changed practice in the TEIs towards incorporation of ESD in the TEIs. The environmental scan of this initiative showed very poor and uneven integration of ESD into teacher education in SADC countries, as well as no integration (as yet) of ESD into teacher professional standards (currently being developed) and no Monitoring and Evaluation instruments for aligning ESD teacher education activities with monitoring and evaluation reporting on SDG4, Target 4.7.

The Sustainability Starts with Teachers started to address some of these issues, but only reached a few TEI’s at one level only, and needs to be expanded to include more secondary teacher educators, as well as early childhood teacher educators and primary school teacher educators, as well as TVET educators, STEM teachers, policy makers and curriculum experts in the subsector.

Early detection and treatment of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes

Intrapartum-related neonatal encephalopathy (NE) is, along with prematurity and sepsis, one of the three main contributors to neonatal death and disability in the world. Early detection of asphyxia and NE complications is a prerequisite for early intervention. This programme aims to improve the identification and follow-up of infants at risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes after perinatal insult in low-income settings.
