Learning for a Sustainable Future: Live at COP27

Explore global issues during COP27 and be part of the call for collective action

The 27th UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) is being held in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt from 06 – 18 November 2022. It will bring together heads of state, climate experts and campaigners to agree and accelerate coordinated global action on climate change.

Be part of the action at COP27

This two-week course, which runs in parallel with the COP27 conference, offers you an opportunity to examine what COP27 is, why it’s important and reflect on how you can add your voice to the call for collective action for a sustainable future.

You’ll explore the broader context of COP27 and consider other key frameworks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the UN Convention on Biological Diversity.

Throughout the course, we will share ‘live’ insights into the issues being discussed at COP27, as well as responses to the conference themes from children and young people, community groups and ministerial bodies, both nationally and internationally.

Using these ‘starting points’, we will invite you to reflect on what you have heard, watched and read and think about what these conversations and issues mean to you. We will provide opportunities for discussion and reflection and will share ideas and inspiration to help us all take our next steps beyond the Conference.
