Webinar series: ‘Building green, inclusive and climate-resilient urban communities – the learning cities approach’

Leading up to the sixth International Conference on Learning Cities (ICLC 6) themed 'Learning cities at the forefront of climate action,' the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities (GNLC) will be hosting a webinar series focused on learning cities and the climate emergency.

These webinars will explore a variety of topics related to learning city development, with a particular emphasis on how the climate crisis affects local communities. Special attention will be given to examining the connections between the climate emergency and other thematic areas of focus within the global network, including education for sustainable development, lifelong learning for health and global citizenship education. The primary goal of the webinars is to facilitate exchange and peer-learning among GNLC members. Summaries of the sessions will subsequently be compiled to inform a background document for ICLC 6.

The webinars will take place on Zoom from 13:00 to 14:00 (CET/CEST) on the third Wednesday of each month starting on Wednesday, 20 March, and ending on Wednesday, 20 November 2024.
