Welcome to another edition of GDRC Mosaic!
This month, GDRC Mosaic is being sent to
more than 1,900 subscribers in 130 countries worldwide.
THIS MONTH'S SPOTLIGHT: Education for Sustainable
Development
from GDRC's Programme on Sustainable
Development.
In 2002, the United Nations General Assembly
adopted Resolution 57/254 to designate the decade
2005-2015 as the 'United Nations Decade of
Education for Sustainable Development' (UN-DESD).
GDRC has developed a special section on UN-DESD
to keep web visitors updated on the initiative,
and the various activities currently underway
during the Decade.
Much of the work of GDRC focuses on incorporating
sustainability concerns within everyday decisions
- how can lifestyle choices and consumption
patterns be made more environmentally sound,
and have less negative impacts?
GDRC has been working on these and related issues.

As with all sections of GDRC, contributions, comments
and suggestions are always welcome from users and
subscribers! Please contact GDRC's Coordinator at -

has (i.e. the ‘bird-in-the-hand’) as a first step,
in order to be able to satisfy his/her information
needs.
This goes together in providing access to pertinent
and timely/useful information (i.e. the ‘two-in-a-
bush’). The information should add an additional
layer of knowledge building on what the user
already has …
