UNESCO at COP31: Putting education at the heart of climate action
COP31 will mark an important step for the Greening Education Partnership. Ahead of its fifth anniversary in 2027, the Partnership will convene countries and partners to advance climate education, accelerate action on greening education systems and spotlight Education for Sustainable Development.
This event will advance discussions on the structure and work of the Partnership’s next phase, GEP 2.0, with a stronger focus on country-level implementation and regional cooperation. Together with the Türkiye Ministry of National Education and OECD, the Partnership’s Monitoring and Evaluation Working Group will also be launched to strengthen data, evidence and accountability, in particular through the GEP Global Tracker, a global observatory on climate change education. The role of education in responding to climate-related crises and emergencies will also be addressed, alongside the longer-term transformation needed to build resilient education systems.
Children, young people and teachers will be at the centre of these discussions. Their meaningful participation is essential to shaping education systems that can respond to climate change and prepare learners to contribute to sustainable futures.
