This COP31 side event will explore how climate education can empower young people, build practical skills, and mobilize community action when grounded in local realities and supported by experimentation and leadership. Through youth-led initiatives and examples from diverse contexts, the event will examine how rethinking traditional education can strengthen grassroots resilience and advance locally driven climate action.

Organized by the Global Schools Program, SDSN, Eco Schools Uzbekistan, and Triharmony Climate Network.
