World Solar Summit

The Executive Board,

1. Having reviewed the Medium-Term Strategy for 1996-2001 (28 C/4 Approved), and the Approved Programme and Budget for 1996-1997 (28 C/5 Approved),

2. Recalling 145 EX/Decision 4.1 (Part A.II, (b)(viii) and Part B, para. 10, (j)(iii)) inviting the Director-General to give special attention, in the Medium-Term Strategy (28 C/4) and in the Draft Programme and Budget for 1996-1997 (28 C/5), to the activities relating to renewable energy sources for development,

3. Taking into account 145 EX/Decision 5.3.2 approving the Statutes of the World Solar Commission,

4. Stressing its recommendations on the Draft Programme and Budget for 1996-1997 (28 C/6, para. 32) to give importance to the activities relating to renewable energy sources, and to organize regional consultations in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific, the Mediterranean countries, and Central and Eastern Europe, with a view to the preparation of the World Solar Summit,

5. Recalling 28 C/Resolution 2.1 (para. 2.A(e)) adopted by the General Conference, inviting the Director-General to facilitate the use of renewable energy sources for development,

6. Noting that the preparation of the World Solar Summit, to be held in Harare, Zimbabwe, on 16 and 17 September 1996, has continued during 1994-1995, in compliance with 27 C/Resolution 2.1, 2(e) and paragraph 02117 of the work plan in document 27 C/5 Approved,

7. Convinced that a wider use of clean renewable energy sources would be a factor conducive to social development and to the preservation of the environment, as it would: 149 EX/Decisions - page 4

(a) reduce developing countries’ bills for energy imports;

(b) make electricity available to rural and isolated populations in order to enhance their educational, sanitary and communication levels, as well as their income-generating and employment opportunities through the creation of small-scale industries, thus reducing rural- urban drift;

(c) contribute to developing an environmentally sound economy;

(d) improve the quality of life of women, especially in rural and remote areas, as the burden of carrying fuelwood and drinking-water would be greatly alleviated, thus giving them more time to engage in educational and income-generating activities;

(e) decrease deforestation and desertification, leading to the improved fertility of the land and the preservation of ecosystems;

(f) contribute to saving the earth from environmental degradation and global warming;

8. Expresses appreciation to the Director-General for his efforts in implementing the World Solar Summit Process;

9. Also expresses its appreciation to the Heads of State and Government who have agreed to serve on the World Solar Commission on a personal basis, and especially to its Chairman, H.E. Dr Robert Mugabe, President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, who has agreed to host the World Solar Summit in Harare on 16 and 17 September 1996;

10. Calls upon all Member States of UNESCO to contribute to the success of the World Solar Summit and to ensure their participation at the highest possible level;

IV

International campaign to collect exercise books and pencils for the developing countries

The Executive Board,

1. Bearing in mind the Director-General’s remarks in his report on the programme adopted by the General Conference, and in particular those concerning Programme I.1, ‘Basic education for all’, 149 EX/Decisions - page 5

2. Considering that education is a fundamental human right and a key to sustainable development, a vital instrument for realizing each individual’s full potential and combating underdevelopment, and a fundamental tool for improving the quality of life,

3. Recalling the World Declaration on Education for All, its broad vision of basic education and its renewed commitment to such education, seen as a fundamental right of all men and women of all ages everywhere,

4. Convinced that, despite the significant efforts of countries the world over to respect the right to education for all, the following realities still persist:

(a) over 130 million children have no access to primary education,

(b) over 890 million adults are illiterate,

(c) some 100 million children and countless adults are unable to complete their basic education,

(d) over a third of the world’s adults lack access to printed information and the new skills and technologies that could improve their quality of life and help them bring about and adapt to social and cultural changes,

5. Stressing that UNESCO’s Medium-Term Strategy for 1996-2001 places prime emphasis on the promotion of basic education for all,

6. Observing the importance of the initiatives that UNESCO has taken to enhance the quality and relevance of basic education in the context of education for the twenty-first century,

7. Recognizing that the universalization of basic education - that is, its extension to all children - is far from being a reality in all countries of the Third World,

8. Considering the implications of the severe economic crisis affecting most of the developing countries, and realizing that this situation has disastrous repercussions on education systems,

9. Concerned at the lack of educational materials in the developing countries as a consequence of this serious economic crisis, which has made parents less able to contribute to their children’s education,

10. Requests the Director-General to take appropriate steps to ensure that UNESCO launches, on International Literacy Day, which is celebrated every year on 8 September, an international campaign to collect exercise books and pencils for the developing countries as a tangible contribution to meeting their urgent educational needs.

3.

4. Expresses the wish that continued efforts be undertaken to establish new research and training centres and programmes, consonant with the Charter of the University, as well as to provide support to existing centres and programmes;

5. Expresses its appreciation to the Government of Ghana and the University of Ghana at Legon for the facilities offered to the Institute for Natural Resources in Africa (UNU/INRA) and, at the same time, appeals to donors to provide special support to INRA;

6. Thanks the governments which have contributed to the endowment or operating fund of the University or of its research and training centres and programmes;

7. Expresses its gratitude to the Government of Japan for its generous gift of a new university centre, as well as for its continued financial and intellectual support to the University, and in particular for the creation of a trust fund for the UNESCO/UNU joint programmes and for the launching of the Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) in Tokyo;

8. Reaffirms its recommendation for enhanced co-operation between UNESCO and the United Nations University, including the reinforcement of collaboration in support of the UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs Programme with a view to developing further the concept of that programme and the criteria for selecting appropriate institutions;

9. Invites the Director-General to communicate to the Chairperson of the Council of the United Nations University and to the Rector the text of the present decision together with the relevant documents.
