Webinar: Empowered Citizens, Informed Consumers and Skilled Workers

The OECD is scaling up and mainstreaming its support to countries in navigating the climate challenge. The OECD’s work on Education Policies for a Sustainable Future is part of that effort. Our latest report explores how education and training policies can foster individual and collective agency, influence socio-behavioural change, and build skills that empower individuals and communities to shape and benefit from the green transition. It argues for a holistic, lifecycle approach to integrating sustainability in education, spanning from schooling through to vocational education and training, higher education, and adult learning. The insights it generates will inspire deeper reflection and coordinated action towards a future where people and planet can thrive in harmony.
