“Youth and Educators for Global Climate Action: Participation, Collaboration, and Implementation of UNESCO’s Greening Education Partnership” highlights youth participation, collaboration, and input  in the development, design, and implementation of Greening Education Partnership led by UNESCO. This intergenerational, intersectoral panel centers youth voices in conversation with civil society, educator,  philanthropy, think tanks, professional associations, and labor to reflect on the process and opportunities present in the Partnership. The session builds on the work of EARTHDAY.ORG and partners’ advocacy in the build up and aftermath of the Transforming Education Summit. This event will be an opportunity to share the success of youth action toward global climate literacy campaigns and provide some context for the UNESCO events happening later in the day’s proceedings.
