COP27: Youth demand quality climate education: ministerial session on climate education
UNESCO Side Event at COP27
Thursday, 10 November 2022 (Youth/Future Generation Day)
16:00-17:30 EET
The dialogue between ministers of education/environment and young people will address concrete ways to transform education to tackle climate change. Building on the commitments made by a number of countries at COP26 in Glasgow (November 2021), and at the UN Transforming Education Summit (TES) in New York (September 2022), COP 27 is a unique opportunity to focus on concrete actions on climate change education.
Recalling Berlin Declaration on ESD (2021) which called for ‘climate action as a core curriculum component’, UNESCO organized a series of survey and consultations with 17,000 young people from 166 countries as a part of its work to co-develop green curriculum guideline with young people. The youth asks will be presented on this occasion, and the dialogue between ministers and young people will be structured around the key findings.
As the way forward, calls for countries and key stakeholders to join Greening Education Partnership will be made.
