According to the Articles 4 and 6 of the United Nations Framework Convention
on Climate Change (UNFCCC), all Parties are committed to promote and cooperate
in education, training and public awareness related to climate change and
encourage the widest participation in this process, including that of non-governmental
organizations. The Amended New Delhi Work Programme (AmNDWP),
the 5-year work programme on Art 6 of UNFCCC (2007 COP13/CMP3, Bali) sets out
the scope of, and provides for action on activities related to Article 6. The guiding

this new framework support implementation of at least principles a, d, e, f and g:
a A country-driven approach;
b Cost-effectiveness;
c A phased approach integrating Article 6 activities into existing climate change
programmes and strategies;
d Promotion of partnerships, networks and synergies, in particular, synergies
between conventions;
e An interdisciplinary approach;
f A holistic, systematic approach;
g The principles of sustainable development.
How to define Sustainability?
“Our vision for the future is of a region that embraces common values of solidarity,
equality and mutual respect between people, countries and generations. It is a region
characterized by sustainable development, including economic vitality, justice,
social cohesion, environmental protection and the sustainable management
of natural resources, so as to meet the needs of the present generation without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.” (UNECE Strategy
on ESD 2005)
Several principles of the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) (UNECE,
2005) could be efficiently implemented through Integral Four Worlds and the
Centre Approach, supporting a holistic, transformative, transcultural learning
process. Bellow, the relevant principles are cited and the expressions that directly
relate to Integral Approach are highlighted:
The development of a sustainable society should, therefore, be seen as a continuous
learning process, exploring issues and dilemmas, where appropriate answers
and solutions may change as our experience increases. (EAST – Developmental)
