Currently responsible for around 75 per cent of global CO2 emissions, cities – and in particular the transport systems and office buildings – play a pivotal role in the world’s response to the climate crisis. In addition to being central to the transformation to inclusive and green economies, cities are also at the forefront of efforts to empower local communities with the knowledge and skills that are needed to break long-established patterns of unsustainable consumption, production and mobility. UNESCO learning cities, with their strong expertise in lifelong learning, are uniquely positioned to instil climate consciousness and equip local residents with the green skills essential for a sustainable society.This webinar will focus on the empowerment of learning providers to promote lifelong learning for climate action as an essential component for the transformation towards more sustainable, climate-friendly cities. This pertains to a range of institutions – from early childhood care and education (ECCE) providers, schools and universities to adult education centres, community learning centres (CLCs), cultural institutions, museums and libraries, among others.The webinar will explore the diversity of approaches to implement lifelong learning for climate action and how institutions can be inspired and supported in their efforts. It will also consider the tools institutions need to advance concrete activities ranging from awareness-raising campaigns, upcycling and litter clean-ups to new mobility events and capacity-building workshops.21 August 2024, 13:00 to 14:00 (CEST)Zoom linkArabic, English, French, Korean, SpanishLogin or Sign up to join the conversation.  AndroidiOS
