Roundtable: Youth Collaborating with Educational Leaders on Climate Education
Event description
Join youth and education decision makers from around the world in a virtual roundtable on climate education in higher education.
The aim is to strengthen collaborations among youth, higher education leaders and key decision-makers to embed climate education in higher education institutions.
Youth leaders will present their manifesto for climate education, endorsed by multiple international youth organisations, and stories of successful collaboration with policymakers. This will be followed by reactions from national education commissions and a discussion on ways to strengthen collaborations around the demands of youth.
This roundtable is part of the UNESCO World Higher Education Conference (WHEC) for which you can register separately here.
The roundtable is organized by the Youth for Climate Education community, a global community of youth who are advocating for climate education in higher education.
