Mock Education Minister’s Summit Held
On the 12th & 13th August our friends at MOCK COP held a Mock Education Minister’s Summit, resulting in a Youth Statement on Quality Climate Education - which you can read below:
The team at MOCK COP informed us that
“this is the work of 227 national youth delegates from 89 countries coming together to raise ambition for climate education over 2 days of learning, discussions and negotiations.
The statement represents the first ever unified youth definition of quality climate education, and a resulting set of clear asks. We will now work to support our youth delegates to engage on a national level with their education ministers to secure commitments to this quality climate education in the run up to, and at, COP28.”
You can watch back a number of the sessions over the weekend on Mock COP's Youtube account.
The event also garned plenty of press coverage, some of the highlights below:
