GEP Working Group 2: Greening Curriculum

The Greening Education Partnership is an open and inclusive community of practice of Member States, organizations and institutions for promoting, implementing and enabling getting every learner climate-ready.

Taking a lifelong learning approach starting from pre-primary to adult education, the Greening Education Partnership encourages countries and key stakeholders to focus on 4 action areas:

  • Greening Schools to ensure a whole-institution approach, including greening teaching and learning, climate-ready school facilities and operations, inclusive governance, and community engagement.

  • Greening Curriculum to ensure relevant and quality of learning content and pedagogy on climate change education.

  • Greening Teacher Training and Education Systems' Capacities to strengthen policy, planning, finance, and implementation.

  • Greening Communities to become climate resilient through lifelong learning.

A working group is set up for each of the four pillars. In April 2023, the partnership convened the first meeting of each of the four working groups with stakeholders from over 400 organizations that have joined the Partnership. The meeting was held to elaborate the terms of reference for the working groups for each pillar and define possible ways of engagement and synergies while drawing on each partner's areas of expertise.

During this second working group meeting, member states and key stakeholders that have joined the Partnership will convene to discuss workplans for each of the working groups, share updates on ongoing and planned Partnership activities and explore ways to collaborate and engage member states.

Pillar 2: Greening Curriculum to ensure relevant and quality of learning content and pedagogy on climate change education

Greening Curriculum to ensure relevant and quality of learning content and pedagogy on climate change education. The number of countries which include climate change education addressing climate mitigation and adaptation and a wider systemic perspective in school curricula and teaching and learning practices at the pre-primary, primary, secondary and tertiary levels and in TVET curricula at least doubles from the current level of approximately 45% and is as close as possible to all national curricula reaching this target 2030.

This meeting specifically targets the organizations/institutions and member states that have joined the Partnership. It aims to:

  • Co-create a joint work plan that will formulate the activities to be undertaken by the working group members;

  • Share information about ongoing and planned activities; and

  • Explore ways to collaborate and engage member states.
