ESD Response to COVID-19
Mukvinder Sandhu
RCE Kuching
Malaysia
COVID-19 Impact to the Community
• Deprived access to work, healthcare, food and education (May 2020 – 5.3%
unemployment rate vs May 2019 – 3.3%)
• Incomes affected as heavy dependency on daily wages (Day Laborers)
• Women & children exposed to domestic violence, sexual abuse & increased
mental health disorders
• NGOS/CSOs facing challenges reaching out to the beneficiaries (restricted
movement, lack of funds)
• Lack of understanding of nature & scale of pandemic
• Increased plastic usage – heavy reliance on food delivery services, online
shopping, medical waste
COVID-19 Impact on RCE Kuching
• Movement Control Order (since mid-March)
• Pre-Covid-19 planned activities – Special Issue of British Food Journal on
sustainability in food practices, aligning to SDG 2 Zero Hunger, 5R Campaign at
local schools, Annual RCE YA Summit, River water quality hands on community
program, River Arts Competition
• Restructuring of 2020 activities, alternative ways of reaching out
• Schools closed, lower economic groups, indigenous communities difficult to reach
as most affected
• Focus is on financial issues & recovery, jobs and social disruption. Sustainability
not considered ‘essential’
• Hands-on activities – on halt (bring communities together & foster deeper
realization of the SDGs)
RCE Kuching’s Response to COVID-19
• Re-aligned physical activities to virtual events – Special Issue sharing
and research webinar, Rivers Arts Competition
• Increased confidence in virtual events – Added Virtual World Rivers Day
celebration (World Rivers Day: roles of youth – 27th Sept)
• Hands-on activities on hold until further notice
• Discussion with stakeholders on reaching specific groups
Supporting mechanism to enhance ESD
during/after the pandemic
• RCEs must play a stronger role to advocate for real actions from
governments, businesses and industries.
• RCEs may lack influence in policy-making at these levels
• RCE can play more effective roles if the UN/UNU advocated for policy
change at countries’ higher levels & enable them to then link their
strategies to RCEs in their countries.

ESD Response to COVID-19

  • 1. ESD Response to COVID-19 Mukvinder Sandhu RCE Kuching Malaysia
  • 2. COVID-19 Impact to the Community • Deprived access to work, healthcare, food and education (May 2020 – 5.3% unemployment rate vs May 2019 – 3.3%) • Incomes affected as heavy dependency on daily wages (Day Laborers) • Women & children exposed to domestic violence, sexual abuse & increased mental health disorders • NGOS/CSOs facing challenges reaching out to the beneficiaries (restricted movement, lack of funds) • Lack of understanding of nature & scale of pandemic • Increased plastic usage – heavy reliance on food delivery services, online shopping, medical waste
  • 3. COVID-19 Impact on RCE Kuching • Movement Control Order (since mid-March) • Pre-Covid-19 planned activities – Special Issue of British Food Journal on sustainability in food practices, aligning to SDG 2 Zero Hunger, 5R Campaign at local schools, Annual RCE YA Summit, River water quality hands on community program, River Arts Competition • Restructuring of 2020 activities, alternative ways of reaching out • Schools closed, lower economic groups, indigenous communities difficult to reach as most affected • Focus is on financial issues & recovery, jobs and social disruption. Sustainability not considered ‘essential’ • Hands-on activities – on halt (bring communities together & foster deeper realization of the SDGs)
  • 4. RCE Kuching’s Response to COVID-19 • Re-aligned physical activities to virtual events – Special Issue sharing and research webinar, Rivers Arts Competition • Increased confidence in virtual events – Added Virtual World Rivers Day celebration (World Rivers Day: roles of youth – 27th Sept) • Hands-on activities on hold until further notice • Discussion with stakeholders on reaching specific groups
  • 5. Supporting mechanism to enhance ESD during/after the pandemic • RCEs must play a stronger role to advocate for real actions from governments, businesses and industries. • RCEs may lack influence in policy-making at these levels • RCE can play more effective roles if the UN/UNU advocated for policy change at countries’ higher levels & enable them to then link their strategies to RCEs in their countries.
