The Office for Climate Education
Created in March 2018, the Office for Climate Education (OCE) promotes climate change education worldwide. A foundation under the auspices of UNESCO, the OCE is also an observer member of the IPCC since 2021.
The OCE’s mission is to empower primary and secondary school teachers to integrate the concepts and issues related to climate change in the classroom. It does so by developing IPCC-based educational resources, by providing professional development and leading communities of practice, and by supporting educational public policies via regional pilot projects. The OCE relies on a large network of partners in France, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
