Future Goals

In 2025, UN CC:Learn will continue to support countries in implementing their National Climate Change Learning Strategies, while seeking opportunities to scale up climate change education, training, and public awareness. New interventions on the UN CC:Learn e-learning platform will further expand its offering, fostering innovation and more engaging learning experiences. Partnerships with educational institutions, the private sector, and international organizations will support the development of new tailored learning opportunities that address the needs of diverse target audiences. These continued efforts will contribute to building a climate-literate society, empowering individuals to take effective climate action in both their private and professional lives, and to make informed decisions.

UN CC:Learn is a collaborative initiative of 36 multilateral organizations working together to help countries build the knowledge and skills they need to take action on climate change
