Okayama University ESD Promotion Center held the “Third Meeting on
Promoting Teacher Education for Climate Change Education through
Collaboration between Asian Centers of Excellence on Education for
Sustainable Development (ATECCE)” in collaboration with Mongolian
National University of Education and National University of Mongolia in
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia from May 3 to 5. The conference was supported by
UNESCO Beijing (UNESCO’s general headquarters for East Asia) and the
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS).
More than forty university faculty members and graduate students from
seventeen ESD research and education centers in nine Asian countries
(China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Malaysia,
Thailand and the Philippines) participated in the conference, during
which participants presented examples of good practice in teacher
training and development for climate change education. Based on these
presentations, participants also discussed the creation of a guide for
promoting teacher education programs on climate change education in
Asia.
Mongolia is one of the world’s top ten countries most affected by
climate change. The effects of climate change are felt in all sectors of
society, especially in the livestock and agricultural industries,
making the promotion of climate change education an urgent issue.
As a result, the conference attracted a lot of attention in Mongolia, and it has been widely discussed on TV and other media.
Next year May, Okayama University will host the final international conference at Tsushima Campus.
