The 1st Global Forum on Green Economy Learning will bring together policy-makers, development partners, as well as representatives from education and training institutions, NGOs and business associations to identify opportunities for scaling-up green economy learning.
This event is organized by the Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) in collaboration with the Green Growth Knowledge Platform (GGKP), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and Training.
The overall goal of the Forum is to scale up learning on inclusive green economy (IGE) through collaboration of interested institutions from around the world. More specifically, the Forum aims to:
- Facilitate information exchange, experience-sharing and coordination for IGE learning
- Review national approaches to develop a strategic approach to IGE learning
- Engage learning institutions in integrating IGE concepts within existing courses
- Initiate collaboration to develop a self-standing green economy curriculum
The Forum is expected to bring together 60-70 professionals engaged in IGE learning and capacity development from national, regional and global institutions. In particular, the Forum targets:
- Policymakers and public officials engaged in green economy policy and capacity development
- Development partners active in green economy capacity development
- Representatives from education and training institutions (including universities, technical and vocational education and training institutions, professional training centers, etc.)
- Representatives of NGOs and business associations regularly delivering relevant trainings
The Forum will be held back to back with the OECD's Green Growth and Sustainable Development Forum.
