Do you get the ESD ZOOM newsletters from UNESCO? These are essential reading if you want to keep up with ESD, the GAP, etc round the world. Here is a link to the most recent one in January.
In this, the highlight was UNESCO seeking nominations for the third edition of the UNESCO-Japan Prize on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) where $ 150,000 will be divided between three recipients. The Prize aims to honour and showcase outstanding ESD projects and programmes worldwide.

There’s nothing in this list on education or ESD etc. If you hunt around, however, you come to this, which is the UNESCO Chairs and UNITWIN page. There’s lots here on education, though it’s focused more on ‘education for all’ (EFA), rather than ESD.
