Focus

The event will specifically address the following:

• What is happening within countries to ensure that education is seen to play a major role in building understanding, a sense of engagement within societies and to create a sense of hope and to challenge fears for the future?
• Are current educational approaches to the topic effective?
• How to build on the enthusiasms generated by many young people around the world to address the climate emergency in a form that encourages a process of structured learning rather than a culture of short-term activism.
• Post COP 26, what do educators see as their roles and responsibilities to ensure that climate change remains a high priority within all education programmes around the world?
