The 57th session of the United Nations Statistical Commission is quickly approaching. Mark your calendar for our upcoming webinar, "Progressing the Greening of Education through Monitoring: How Countries Can Inform their Policy and Curriculum Making through the New SDG Global Indicator 4.7.1b."

As the highest decision-making body for international statistical development, the United Nations Statistical Commission will use the meeting to review and endorse statistical methodologies, address emerging challenges, and foster international cooperation to improve the comparability of national statistics.

A MECCE Project partnership with the UNESCO Global Education Monitoring Report has produced a new official SDG Global Indicator. SDG Global Indicator 4.7.1b measures the extent to which countries are integrating sustainability, environment, climate change, and biodiversity into National Curriculum Frameworks and science and social science curricula for Grades 3, 6, and 9.

This side event at the 57th session of the United Nations Statistical Commission will elaborate on ways this new indicator and other forms of monitoring can be used to improve integration of green content in formal education. Specifically, a panel of expert speakers will:

1. Provide a technical overview of the indicator

2. Describe ways the indicator can be used to improve the integration of greening in formal education curriculum

3. Discuss the application of the indicator to improve national curricula.
