Fenomena bencan alam yang datang silih berganti belakangan ini menyentak pikiran dan membuat kita berpikir kebelakang untuk menghubungkan kejadian-kejadian tersebut dengan proses pendidikan yang telah diterapkan. Eco-school merupakan program besar yang mewadahi keinginan sekolah untuk berperan dalam melestarikan lingkungan. Program eco-school menggabungkan pembelajaran dan tindakan, sehingga menjadi metode yang efektif untuk mengubah perilaku dan membentuk karakter. Undang-undang Nomor 20 tahun 2003 tentang sistem pendidikan Nasional dan Peraturan Presiden Nomor 87 tahun 2017 tentang Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter menegaskan pentingnya melakukan revolusi karakter bangsa. Program Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter (PPK) ini sejalan dengan agenda Nawacita penguatan karakter bangsa melalui budi pekerti dan pembangunan karakter peserta didik sebagai bagian dari revolusi mental. Dalam Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Panjang Nasional (RPJPN) tahun 2005-2025, secara implisit ditegaskan Pemerintah menjadikan pembangunan karakter sebagai salah satu program prioritas pembangunan nasional. Untuk dapat mencapai target maksimal dari penerapan eco-school maka dibutuhkan strategi yang sesuai dan mumpuni dalam mengeksekusi seluruh program tersebut. Mengedepankan proses interaksi komunikasi yang mendalam antara peneliti dengan fenomena yang diteliti, maka penelitian memperoleh formulasi strategi berupa langkah kerja eco-school yakni: a) sosialisasi; b) pendidikan; c) pemberdayaan; d) pembudayaan; e) kerjasama peran stakeholder. Model strategi yang tersebut diharapkan dapat berkontribusi guna membentuk karakter siswa peduli lingkungan yang kemudian secara beriringan mendukung tercapainya tujuan pembangunan berkelajutan (sustainable development) melalui karakter peduli lingkungan.

In 2003, in response to the United Nations (UN) Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, the United Nations University (UNU) Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability launched a global multi-stakeholder network of Regional Centers of Expertise (RCEs) on education for sustainable development (ESD). RCEs facilitate multi-sector collaboration and utilize formal, non-formal, and informal education to address sustainable development challenges in local and regional communities. In essence, RCEs are a tool for transformation to a more sustainable society, combining education and action for sustainable development. As we enter the new "ESD for 2030" decade, RCEs will continue to construct platforms for cross-sectoral dialogue between regional stakeholders and actors to promote and strengthen ESD at the local level. RCEs have committed to helping advance the five priority areas of action established in the Global Action Program on ESD and the new UN decade "ESD for 2030": advancing policy by mainstreaming ESD, transforming learning and training environments using whole-institution approaches, building capacities of educators and trainers, empowering and mobilizing youth, and accelerating sustainable solutions at the local level. RCEs are uniquely positioned to serve as shepherds in the realization of the new "ESD for 2030" decade. As of January 2019, 174 RCEs have officially been acknowledged by UNU worldwide, with eight RCEs in the United States: Georgetown, South Carolina; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Greater Atlanta, Georgia; Greater Burlington, Vermont; Greater Portland, Oregon; North Texas, Texas; Salisbury, Maryland; and Shenandoah Valley, Virginia. RCEs serve an essential role in the achievement of "ESD for 2030" goals by translating global objectives into the local contexts of our communities.

We describe a multi-country, multi-stakeholder model for the accrual and use of nuclear weapons and illustrate the model’s value for addressing nuclear weapon proliferation issues using a historic Pacific Rim scenario. We instantiate the agent-based dynamic network model for information and belief diffusion using data from subject matter experts and data mined from open source news documents. We present the techniques that supported model instantiation. A key feature of this model and these techniques is enabling rapid model re-use through the ability to instantiate at two levels: generically and for specific cases. We demonstrate these generic and specific cases using a scenario regarding North Korea’s interest in nuclear weapons and the resulting impact on the Pacific Rim circa 2014, that is, prior to the fourth and fifth nuclear weapons tests by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. A key feature of this model is that it uses two levels of network interaction, the country level and the stakeholder level, thus supporting the inclusion of non-state actors and the assessment of complex scenarios. Using this model, we conducted virtual experiments in which we assessed the impact of alternative courses of action on the overall force posture and desire to develop and use nuclear weapons.

Purpose – The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of key issues and concepts related to discussions of the internet, its governance, and its multi-stakeholder model. Design/methodology/approach – The method adopted is to discuss definitions of internet, to identify the key characteristics of internet, to define the multi-stakeholder approach, and to discuss the results it has achieved. Findings – The article finds that the internet is different from other networks, albeit not exactly in the ways that are commonly mentioned, and it finds that the internet's current governance mechanisms can be improved, in particular by increasing the role of more traditional governance mechanisms such as intergovernmental organizations. Originality/value – The analysis and conclusions are not found in previous literature, and they are meant to provoke further research and discussion.

The Outcome Document of the recent international diplomatic conference on sustainable development, Rio+20, portrays it as a multi-stakeholder process aimed at increasing the wellbeing of present and future generations in a dynamic, inclusive, equitable, safe, lasting, and environmentally balanced fashion, emphasizing that it should lead to poverty eradication, social development, the protection of all human rights and the elimination of human-provoked damage to the natural environment and resource-base. This reflects a highly complex process. Whereas the wording of its features and purposes exhibits considerable progress in the international policy dialogue, it appears that, among analysts, policy-makers, and practitioners around the world, there could be still large dispersion in the precise understanding of many underlying notions, the main issues, and their interrelationships. Consequently, there is not yet enough clarity among all stakeholders as to how to proceed on the implementation of coherent and coordinated strategies and policies for sustainable development. This chapter presents an analytical framework to look at these matters from a systemic perspective, with the intention of inspiring non-specialists to consider the advantages of the Enterprise Architecture approach to generate more clarity, facilitate communication, enhance policy coherence, and foster cooperation and partnerships for improving sustainable development. Some practical uses of the systems approach to enhance strategy, organization, and management for sustainable development are suggested.
