Fast Facts

In the wake of the recent tsunami disaster, UNESCO Bangkok is co-ordinating a sub regional project under Japanese Funds in trust (JFIT) on Education for Natural Disaster Preparedness in Asia-Pacific in the context of ESD in close collaboration with UNESCO New Delhi and Jakarta offices.

 

The goal of the project is to develop the preparedness of local stakeholder groups towards disaster prevention, recognition and preparedness in selected Asia-Pacific countries.
UNESCO Bangkok aims to employ ESD as a framework to facilitate holistic and critical thinking as well as problem-solving in local communities threatened or affected by disasters.


The project approach will develop disaster prevention/preparedness education as an initiative under the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014).
