Background

Keeping abreast of the newest developments in climate change is essential to make timely, effective and sustainable decisions. Yet, adequate time and space for learning are rarely accessible for busy delegates, decision-makers and full-time working professional. The Climate Classroom is a mobile learning space that ‘pops up’ at the center of major climate change conferences and related events, offering focused 45-minute learning sessions on highly relevant climate change topics delivered by select experts. The first edition of the Climate Classroom took place at the 22nd Conference of the Parties of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP22 of the UNFCCC).

After their success at COP22 in Marrakesh, the Climate Classrooms popped up in Geneva to showcase a climate learning innovation and offer a chance to the diverse social innovation community in Geneva to think together about solutions to SDG13.

Event Objectives

The Climate Classroom is an innovative learning experience, designed for anyone interested in getting up to speed on selected climate change topics and open particularly to members of LDC delegations, including negotiators, practitioners and academics.
