The Regional Bureau of Education for Latin America and the Caribbean of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is providing support for two sub-regional consultation meetings, with the aim of making advances in the preparation of the final monitoring and evaluation report of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014). The meetings will contribute to the creation of a new global framework defining follow-up activities for the Decade, and will add to preparations underway for the world conference to be held in Japan in 2014. This meeting will be the first of the two consultations, and will aim to ensure that the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) programme framework for the post-2014 period is prepared in a transparent and participative manner by gathering input from relevant stakeholders in Latin America and the Caribbean.
