Focusing on Education and Learning
COP26 was the first where Ministers of Education and Environment met to set out commitments to include educational strategies in their national plans for reaching climate targets.
Youth demands for climate action are global and increasing! The rise in youth activism has led to the inclusion of a Children and Youth Pavilion and COP27 President Sameh Shoukry has appointed an official COP27 Youth Envoy. Also Secretary General of the UN Antonio Guterres champions the inclusion of a ‘Youth’ themed day and the word ‘education’ appears in many panel titles and side events.
