«But by really looking into the role of local culture in these
partnerships, planners of these endeavors can
lead to better outcomes in terms of the success of the projects, and can also develop them more responsibly and respectfully with local culture in mind.»
As Moss and Brookhart emphasize, the goal is not
to «do» formative assessment, but
to embrace a major cultural change that moves away from teacher -
led instruction
to a «
partnership of intentional inquiry» between student and teacher, with
better teaching and learning as the
outcome.
Recalling the concern reflected in the
outcome document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, entitled «The future we want», 1 that the health of oceans and marine biodiversity are negatively affected by marine pollution, including marine debris, especially plastic, persistent organic pollutants, heavy metals and nitrogen - based compounds, from numerous marine and land - based sources, and the commitment
to take action
to significantly reduce the incidence and impacts of such pollution on marine ecosystems, Noting the international action being taken
to promote the sound management of chemicals throughout their life cycle and waste in ways that
lead to the prevention and minimization of significant adverse effects on human health and the environment, Recalling the Manila Declaration on Furthering the Implementation of the Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land - based Activities adopted by the Third Intergovernmental Review Meeting on the Implementation of the Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land - based Activities, which highlighted the relevance of the Honolulu Strategy and the Honolulu Commitment and recommended the establishment of a global
partnership on marine litter, Taking note of the decisions adopted by the eleventh Conference of the Parties
to the Convention on Biological Diversity on addressing the impacts of marine debris on marine and coastal biodiversity, Recalling that the General Assembly declared 2014 the International Year of Small Island Developing States and that such States have identified waste management among their priorities for action, Noting with concern the serious impact which marine litter, including plastics stemming from land and sea - based sources, can have on the marine environment, marine ecosystem services, marine natural resources, fisheries, tourism and the economy, as
well as the potential risks
to human health; 1.
