Call for participation: Collaborate with policymakers on climate education in higher education

Are you a student (group) not only concerned about the climate emergency but committed to act towards systemic change?

 

Join the Youth for Climate Education community, empowering youth leaders from around the world to collaborate with policymakers on embedding climate education in higher education curricula.

This is made possible by the Youth and Education project, a collaboration of UNEP and Students Organizing for Sustainability (SOS) International. The work of SOS International is also supported by UNESCO’s World Higher Education Conference (WHEC) Youth Strategy, USPESD, Change the Chamber*Lobby for Climate, and Fridays for Future Climate Education.

We specifically look for students involved in local or national student organizations or individual students willing to step up their climate action.
