Dear Colleagues,

Please find below the link to the final approved version of the UNEP discussion paper, that was released on Monday at the start of IN 3 of the post-2015 development agenda discussions in New York. The purpose of the paper is summarized on the back cover, as below, and the document also contains an executive summary.
About 135 Regional Centers of Expertise (RCEs) have been accredited by the United Nations University – Institute for Advanced Studies (UNU-IAS) throughout various regions of the world within the UN declared Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD) from 2005-2015.
LAST week, the University of the Philippines (UP) hosted the 8th Asia-Pacific RCE Conference. Before the day I learned I was going to be part of the technical working group for the conference, I didn't know what RCE was. I asked the assistant who handed the memo what RCE was, and she could only manage a smile for an answer. Poor me, I got a smaller world.
