Projects are welcome from any RCEs interested in participating. \nConceived by Asia-Pacific youth leaders at RCE Greater Western Sydney (Australia) and RCE Yogyakarta (Indonesia)\, the Challenge uses a peer-to-peer learning model coupled with virtual mentoring support to empower and enable youth leaders to engage with each other and to deliver grassroots projects that matter to them and their communities. \nThe Challenge invites young people to get empowered and engaged in their local communities and RCE networks. Youth are invited to either create their own or build on an existing project\, with support from their RCE or an organisation\, that will make a difference for them\, their community\, and the planet. Projects could include creating a video documentary\, youth camps\, leadership programme\, school workshops\, clean-up events\, art installations and more – the choice is yours as long as it is in line with the Challenge theme (SDG 11\, 12 and/or 15\, underpinned by SDG 4). Projects must be led by a youth lead (35 years or younger)\, can be run by an individual or team (team doesn’t have to be youth exclusively) who are committed to the project from February – October 2020. \nTo date\, the challenge has engaged directly with over 19\,000 youth and delivered 39 individual sustainability youth-led projects across nine countries. In 2018\, the focus was on SDGs 13 and 14\, whilst in 2019\, it was SDGs 1\, 6 and 10 – all underpinned by SDG 4. \nFind out more and download the flyer here. \nTo participate\, submit an expression of interest here. The deadline is 25 January\, 2020.

Drawing upon her recently published article “Competencies and Pedagogies for Sustainability Education: A Roadmap for Sustainability Studies Program Development in Colleges and Universities” \, Evans articulates and describes a set of five competencies for the sustainability field and suggests potentially effective pedagogies for teaching them. Findings from her article in the areas of both competencies and pedagogies for sustainability education imply the benefits of integrative\, active\, collaborative\, and applied approaches to curriculum development and teaching—approaches that directly involve students in learning and practicing transdisciplinary engagement in service to sustainability. \nThe Bachelor of Arts in Sustainability Studies program at Colorado Mountain College serves as an example of how her articulated competency framework is being applied to evaluate and enhance curriculum and learning outcomes. The competency framework and pedagogical recommendations offered may also serve as roadmaps for educators at other institutions who prepare graduates to address the pressing challenges of sustainability evident in communities\, nations\, and the world. \nDr. Tina Lynn Evans is a Professor of Sustainability Studies at Colorado Mountain College (CMC) where she teaches in the Bachelor of Arts program in that field. She is also the author of Occupy Education: Living and Learning Sustainability (2012\, Peter Lang). Dr. Evans has led and participated in extensive course and program development efforts in environmental and sustainability studies for more than 15 years. She focuses much of her teaching on sustainability theory and practice\, socio-cultural aspects of sustainability\, sustainable economics\, energy issues in society\, permaculture design\, and career development in sustainability. Her recent publications focus on sustainability competencies and pedagogies\, sustainable leadership\, hope and agency in sustainability education\, and transdisciplinary theory and practice. Evans was awarded the 2017 Campus Sustainability Research Award from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education for her article “Finding Heart: Generating and Maintaining Hope and Agency through Sustainability Education” (Journal of Sustainability Education\, November 2017). That same year\, she was also named college-wide faculty of the year at Colorado Mountain College. Evans also serves as the lead designer and implementer of the Bear Park Permaculture Center at the Steamboat Springs campus of CMC. Bear Park is a two-thirds acre site that serves as a living laboratory for permaculture\, sustainability studies\, environmental science\, culinary arts\, art\, and other academic programs.

Kim Smith\, Portland Community College Sociology Instructor and co-founder of the Greater Portland Sustainability Education Network (GPSEN)\, will highlight sustainability projects around the world\, UNESCO’s ESD vision\, and how we can all help create a sustainable future. \nPresenter Dr. Kim Smith received her B.A. in Sociology from Whitman College and her Ph.D. in sociology from Indiana University\, specializing in environmental sociology and social movements. She has taught sociology and served in a variety of administrative roles at Portland Community College (PCC) since 1996. She is the co-founder of the Greater Portland Sustainability Education Network (GPSEN)\, a UNU Regional Center of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development\, and works with many non-profits.

As the 28th U.S. Ambassador to the UN\, Power became the public face of U.S. opposition to Russian aggression in Ukraine and Syria\, negotiated the toughest sanctions in a generation against North Korea\, lobbied to secure the release of political prisoners\, and helped mobilize global action against ISIL (ISIS).
