Past warnings from scientific communities have become reality: the consequences of climate change are no longer isolated emergencies, but have become the new global norm. At the 2022 Transformative Education Summit (TES), the UN Secretary-General affirmed that education must be transformed globally to respond to the multiple climate and environmental crises. In the context of the 79. meetings UNESCO ESCAP and UNU-IAS are jointly organizing a side event on “Climate Change and the Right to Education” to discuss how the right to education, including access to quality education and lifelong learning and its continuity, are being threatened by the impacts of climate change; and the critical role of education in addressing these phenomena, the intensity and frequency of which are increasing at an alarming rate every year. An important new initiative emerging from the TES is the Greening Education Partnership, an open and inclusive community of Member States, organizations and institutions to support, implement and enable every learner to be climate ready. The partnership aims to stimulate strong, coordinated and comprehensive country action to equip learners with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to combat climate change and promote sustainable development. The partnership focuses on four action areas that countries are encouraged to commit to achieving, either in part or in full, by 2030: 1) Green Schools; 2) Green Education; 3) Green Capacity and Preparedness; and 4) Green Communities.
