The world's financial and climate crises have a common cause: living beyond our means. Today we are running up huge ecological debts, just as we are accumulating financial debts. Neither is sustainable.

The "Summer Academy" is a join effort by the UNESCO Climate Change Initiative, the Communication University of China (CUC) and l'Ecole de l'image Goblins

This short video is part of the DVD "Climate Change - CUC and Gobelins Summer Academy 2011", which also contains a video report on the Summer Academy 2011 and interviews. www.unesco.org/archives/multimedia/index.php?pg=34&pattern=CUC+and+Gobelins+Summer+Academy+2011

Mike Sharples, from Open University, talks about the challenge that is bridging the informal mobile-learning world with the pedagogical world inside the classroom. This interview as made during the UNESCO Symposium on Mobile Learning (UNESCO headquarters, 15-16 December 2011)

The symposium was one of two main events taking place in the framework of the UNESCO Mobile Learning Week (MLW); the other event being an International Experts' Meeting to produce mobile learning policy guidelines and a strategy for teacher development based on mobile phones

UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme was established in 1992 as a global initiative to prevent the losses of important collections held in libraries and archives. This heritage is a shared, common legacy that should be transmitted to later generations. UNESCO consequently implements preservation projects, conducts training workshops and provides technical advice on preservation and access issues as it seeks to build awareness of the contribution of documentary heritage to efficient and accountable management and governance, and to sustainable development.

Through its international register, which currently lists 245 items from most countries of the world, the Memory of the World enables the intellectual treasures that have been created by all cultures and in all regions to be better known.

This is also facilitated through cooperation with the World Digital Library (www.wdl.org), a joint UNESCO/Library of Congress initiative that promotes access to significant collections held anywhere in the world.

John van Oudenaren, Director of the World Digital Library, talks about recent developments of the project
