A Geneva policy dialogue for impact: country solutions on education in emergencies and climate change

Ahead of COP29, the EiE Hub and its partners will host a policy dialogue to highlight effective country solutions from crisis contexts that address the risks and impacts of climate change on education, and demonstrate the vital role of education in climate action.

On 20 November 2023, the EiE Hub members launched the flagship report, Leveraging Education in Emergencies for Climate Action. This was the first report to examine the effects of climate change on EiE. Furthermore, education gained prominence among topics discussed at COP28, through a dedicated day during the conference as well as the Declaration on the common agenda for education and climate change at COP28. One year after the report’s launch, and ahead of COP29 on 11 – 22 November 2024, it is time to take stock of progress on climate change and EiE, and to promote further action on this critical topic. The event will provide a brief overview of developments and progress achieved so far by key EiE stakeholders and follow up on specific recommendations.
