Natural Disaster Preparedness and Education for Sustainable Development provides details of the development of culturally appropriate and locally relevant educational material for natural disaster preparedness that targets key stakeholder groups and integrates Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) principles and strategies. It is expected to develop and strengthen a regional network to implement and further ESD initiatives throughout the region by promoting education for natural disaster preparedness as well as ESD. This will underpin an identified key area of the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters. The publication articulates the lessons learned by the four in-country project teams (i.e., the Maldives, Thailand, Indonesia and India) and two collaborating organizations (i.e., Asia/Pacific Cultural Centre for UNESCO and Bangladesh Red Crescent Society) in developing materials in collaboration with community groups in the Asia-Pacific region. It provides insights into effective techniques to develop locally relevant educational materials, and highlights some of the challenges in that field.
