Educating for a Climate Changed Future: How Schools, Universities and Civil Society Can Turn Education into a Force for Resilience and Transformation

Register

The Gerhard Center Webinar Series is back with an upcoming event featuring Fernando Reimers, Ford Foundation Professor of the Practice of International Education and Director of the Global Education Innovation Initiative at Harvard University, drawing on his new book, Educating for a Climate Changed Future: From First Order Impacts to System Level Transformation, co-authored with Margaret Wang-Aghania.  

The session will explore how climate change disrupts education and how education systems can help young people build the knowledge, skills and resilience needed to address climate challenges. Drawing on global evidence and practical examples, Reimers will examine key barriers to effective climate education and discuss how governments, universities, philanthropy, civil society and responsible businesses can work together to turn commitments into action. The discussion will also highlight the urgency of these issues for Egypt and the wider region, particularly in light of rising temperatures, water scarcity and coastal risks.
