The Office for Climate Education is hosting its second International Seminar on Climate Change Education (CCE) in partnership with the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research.
Fostering the development and implementation of climate change education around the world
As the interest for climate change education grows internationally, the OCE wishes to create a space where decision makers and practitioners can get acquainted with the latest best practices and tools to help them accelerate the implementation of quality climate change education projects.
These three and a half days event will be comprised of a high-level day that will bring together a diverse set of key stakeholders, from international development banks, philanthropies and ministries to local NGOs from regions around the world, all working on CCE implementation strategies.
