The document “Green School Quality Standard: Greening Every Learning Environment” by UNESCO outlines a comprehensive framework for transforming schools into climate ready institutions by 2030.
It presents a “Green School Quality Standard” focused on four core areas: school governance, facilities and operations, teaching and learning, and community engagement. The aim is to integrate sustainability principles and climate action into every aspect of the school’s functioning.
The framework encourages participatory decision making, sustainable resource management, environmental education, and community involvement to foster resilience and sustainable practices.
By 2030, the goal is to ensure that at least 50% of schools worldwide meet these standards, promoting a culture of environmental responsibility and empowering learners to address climate challenges effectively.
