ESD after 2014 • In July 2013 a draft Global Action Programme on ESD (as a follow-up to UN DESD after 2014) was developed through broad consultations. • The Broad consultations were conducted through: • a UNESCO online survey questionnaire in early 2013 covering Member • States, over 500 including United Nations agencies. • 2 regional consultation meetings. • online consultations of the United Nations Interagency Committee for the • DESD, the International Steering Group for the UNESCO World • Conference on ESD in 2014, and the DESD Reference Group and the • Working Group of UNESCO Chairs on ESD. • The DESD Monitoring and Evaluation Expert Group and participants of • the UNESCO Youth Forum were consulted electronically.

Strengthen the capacity of educators, trainers and other change agents to become learning facilitators for ESD. 4. Support youth in their role as change agents for sustainable development through ESD. 5. Accelerate the search for sustainable development solutions at the local level through ESD.
