Abstract
The concept of Regional Centres of Expertise (RCEs) on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has been enthusiastically embraced by a diverse array of actors since it was first introduced by the United Nations University (UNU) in 2004. An RCE is conceived of as a ‘network’ of existing organisations of formal, nonformal and informal education, mobilised to promote ESD at the local-regional level. Derived from experiences of mobilising RCEs around the globe, this article offers a range of strategic concepts to explain and facilitate the transformation of RCEs into value-adding localised networks constituting a global network—an emerging ‘Global Learning Space for Sustainable Development’.Keywords
