Around the world, many schools, teachers, students and communities are trying to make their schools green and climate-ready. In the lead up to the 29th annual United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29), UNESCO invites students, teachers, schools, universities and local communities to participate in a #GreeningEducation campaign.
Join the campaign and share your stories!
We want to hear how you are making your educational environment climate-ready.
Show us the amazing ways in which you are making a difference for our planet. Inspire others to be part of the change and help shape a sustainable future for all.
How to participate
Create a video or take a photo: tell and show us what your school, teachers, learners and community are doing to green education and get your school climate-ready. You can post a photo with a caption or a short video.
Make your photo or video with the help of other students and your teacher(s). Tell us:
- What was the problem you were trying to fix?
- What actions did you take to make your school more climate-ready?
- What are the results?
- What else needs to be done?
Your photo or video should illustrate what actions are taking place in your school to make it green and climate ready, and what more needs to be done. In your photo or video show us the physical environment in your school – your buildings, your gardens, your classrooms, or whatever space is getting “green”.
