The Higher Education Sustainability Initiative (HESI) is an open partnership between several United Nations entities and the higher education community to highlight the critical role of higher education in achieving sustainable development. The HESI Community is made up of hundreds of university networks, student organizations, and higher education institutions. Any relevant higher education institution or network may join HESI.

HESI includes four Action Groups 1 that tackle specific topics related to higher education for sustainable development. Action groups draw upon the full HESI community to carry out its work and is often composed of several organizations and contributors.

The HESI Action Group “Education for Green Jobs” supports the fulfillment of national climate commitments. The Group focuses on supporting curricula updates to build the workforce we need for a sustainable and inclusive future; improving education, career advising and job placement processes to promote green and sustainability careers; enhancing communication processes between employers and educators around workforce needs for ongoing improvements.

The aim of the webinar is to present the work of the Action Group on “Education for Green Jobs”, including upcoming plans, recent results, and ways for the HESI community to engage with the group.
