Rethinking education for a climate-resilient future

Center for Universal Education (CUE) and the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) will co-host an event at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. to help advance discourse on climate change and the education nexus. At the event, GPE will launch the Climate Smart Education Systems Framework, which outlines a concrete action agenda to strengthen the resilience and relevance of education to climate change and environmental degradation. Through channeling diverse voices on the topic-including youth leaders, a minister of education, other policymakers, and civil society organizations-the event seeks to foster a rich and inclusive conversation that not only brings each dimension of the framework to life, but also inspires new ideas and approaches to build climate-smart school systems. There will be ample time for Q&A during each fireside chat, and there will be time for networking and coffee in the half hour leading up to the event.
This event will be available for in-person attendance or to watch online. Online viewers can submit questions via email to [e-mail] or via Twitter at #ClimateSmartEd.
