Resource Guide for Advanced Learning on REDD+UN CC:Learn
This guide provides a selection of learning resources on REDD+, mostly drawn from within the UN System. The guide is organized into two parts. Part I provides basic orientation for readers, including a brief introduction to the subject area and an outline of the specific learning topics covered. Part II lists available written learning resources as well as a number of training courses currently being offered, organized by learning topic. An Annex containing a list of non-UN learning resources concludes the Guide. This guide is part of a series of developed through UN CC:Learn to facilitate access to existing state-of-the-art materials relevant for climate change learning on particular topics.

2015 is an exceptional year for sustainable development. It is the target year for achieving the MDGs and the year for agreeing on a new set of SDGs in the framework of the post-2015 Development Agenda. In September 2015, 17 SDGs will replace 8 MDGs at the United Nations Summit on the Post-2015 Development Agenda. Many of the 17 SDGs and their associated 169 targets are intertwined and closely related. There are growing calls for the Goals to be implemented through an integrated framework to use resources more efficiently and optimize desired outcomes. This lecture will frame the Water-Energy-Food Nexus perspective as a crucial planning and policy instrument for implementing the SDGs, stressing the opportunities and challenges for operationalizing the concept and highlighting the approaches undertaken by Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) - a global partnership programme launched by the UN Secretary General to mobilize international action on the Energy Goal (i.e. SDG 7 - access to modern, affordable and sustainable energy for all).

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

ESD has great potential to contribute to other SDGs through GAP by
building interdisciplinary and multi-stakeholder partnerships.
20. UNU-IAS ESD Programme beyond DESD
Goal and Objectives of Programme:
The goal of the ESD Programme is to bridge the gap between learning
and sustainable development through research and actions that
advance knowledge across geographic, knowledge, and sectoral
boundaries
The ESD Programme aims to actualize this goal by meeting the
following objectives:
Accelerating local and regional solutions to sustainability issues
Re-orienting higher education for societal transformation into SD
Developing SD and ESD competencies and capabilities as well as a science-policy
interface
21. UNU-IAS ESD Programme beyond DESD
Strategic Direction:
Enhance leadership and capacity development of the decision
makers
Further advance ESD and address sustainability issues through the
multi-stakeholder network (RCEs) and the higher education network
(ProSPER.Net)
Multi-stakeholder networks are ideally positioned to translate global
sustainable development policy and vision into local realities
Because RCEs develop innovative modalities for action, education,
and research, they can:
Create thematic networks in diverse research areas
Engage policymakers as key partners at local, national, and regional level
Undertake joint projects, capacity development, monitoring, and evaluation
Identify and share outstanding ESD practices (via RCE Communications Portal)
22. UNU-IAS ESD Programme beyond DESD
Strategic Direction:
Thematic areas such as:
Global Action Programme (GAP) on ESD
Sustainable consumption and production
Biodiversity, ecosystem services, and traditional knowledge
Climate change and disaster risk reduction
Higher Education driven Initiatives
23. UNU-IAS ESD Programme beyond DESD
Strategic Direction:
Take lead in international SD and ESD debates and processes through
policy-relevant research and capacity development
Multi-stakeholder networks link local and regional initiatives to
international SD and ESD platforms and processes, including:
The Global Action Programme (GAP) on ESD
Sustainable Consumption and Production through the 10 Year Framework
Programme on Sustainable Consumption and Production (10YFP on SCP)
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services through the International Platform on
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and the Convention on Biological
Diversity (CBD)
Climate Change through Article 6 of the United Nations Framework Convention
on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
Disaster Risk Reduction through the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk
Reduction 2015-2030
