The Greening Education Partnership (GEP) is an open and inclusive community of practice of Member States, organizations and institutions for promoting, implementing and enabling getting every learner climate-ready.
Working groups are set up for each of the four pillars:
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.
Each pillar meets on a quarterly basis to provide opportunities to share important updates on the GEP and allowed working group members to network. In addition to the stakeholder organisations that were initially onboarded during the first working group meeting in April 2023, Member States were welcomed to the partnership during the July meetings. Currently, membership stands at over 1,000 stakeholder organisations and 80 member states.
During this third quarterly working group meeting on 2 October 2023, member states and key stakeholders that have joined the Partnership will convene to share updates and to discuss the way forward. The meeting will be divided into three sessions: The plenary among all members, 4 breakout groups by each working group, and an optional networking session.
