 Sixth Global Learning Cities Conference

Paying attention to children on the study of silk is a good thing for the society

is scheduled to occur in Jubail, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a UNESCO learning city. UNESCO learning city officials from around the globe and relevant stakeholders will come together to explore ideas for boosting climate action via lifelong learning, under the theme "Learning cities at the forefront of climate action." Urban areas: major sources of CO2 emissions but also drivers of climate change A major element of the worldwide response to the climate catastrophe is played by cities, which currently account for around 75% of CO2 emissions. Specifically, the transportation infrastructure and office buildings within cities are crucial. Being at the centre of the shift to a more inclusive and environmentally friendly In addition to leading efforts to equip local populations with the information and abilities necessary to disrupt ingrained patterns of unsustainable production, consumption, and mobility, cities also have the strongest economies. Promoting lifelong learning to advance climate action through the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities With 356 members, the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities is a well-established platform for encouraging lifelong learning and climate action. Developing climate change-related methods for lifelong learning is the focus of its Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Cluster. The participants in the ICLC 6 will collaborate to identify and strengthen lifelong learning policies for climate action, resilience, and the creation of sustainable cities. These participants will include policymakers, learning city mayors, experts in sustainability and lifelong learning, representatives from the private sector, non-governmental organisations, civil society, researchers, educators, and United Nations entities. Conference organisation Throughout the conference, talks will be framed by four main themes: enabling people to act as agents of change; building multi-stakeholder coordinated action plans; strengthening educational institutions and learning environments; and fostering the knowledge and abilities needed to create green and climate-resilient cities. Taking part Only those who are invited can attend the ICLC 6. Through the UIL website, registration will become available in the upcoming months. To enquire about conference-related matters or to indicate your interest in participating, do get in touch with the UNESCO GNLC Coordinator. Every interested stakeholder will be able to watch the event live. Concerning the UNESCO Learning Cities One of the main features of UNESCO learning cities is the connection of educational, training, and cultural institutions with the involvement of a wide range of partners, including employers, civil society organisations, and representatives of the public. In order to support inclusive and high-quality learning at all educational levels, they efficiently mobilise resources across all domains. As they increase the use of contemporary learning tools, they revitalise learning in families, communities, and the workplace. Lifelong learning is a crucial lever for providing people with the knowledge and skills necessary to address the climate crisis and to enable them to become role models for change, according to the Global Network of Learning Cities, which is contributing to UNESCO's Greening Education Partnership and using it as a tool for the Marrakech Framework for Action.
