UNESCO learning cities, with their strong expertise in lifelong learning, are uniquely positioned to instil climate consciousness and equip local residents with the green skills essential for a sustainable society. Leading up to the sixth International Conference on Learning Cities (3 to 5 December 2024, Jubail, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) themed 'Learning cities at the forefront of climate action', the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities (GNLC) will be hosting a webinar series focused on learning cities and the climate emergency.
These webinars will explore a variety of topics related to learning city development, with a particular emphasis on how the climate crisis affects local communities. Special attention will be given to examining the connections between the climate emergency and other thematic areas of focus within the global network, including education for sustainable development, lifelong learning for health and global citizenship education. The primary goal of the webinars is to facilitate exchange and peer-learning among GNLC members. Summaries of the sessions will subsequently be compiled to inform a background document for sixth International Conference on Learning Cities.
The webinars will take place on Zoom from 13:00 to 14:00 (CET/CEST) on the third Wednesday of each month starting on Wednesday, 20 March, and ending on Wednesday, 20 November 2024.
