There is a huge gap in the area of climate education\, and integrating climate or environmental knowledge in national education curriculum. Prior to this\, there persist to be low knowledge about the impending impacts of climate change\, and the need to take actions now. More so\, localizing information around SDGs persist to enable grassroots individual to comprehend and take individual actions also seeks to be a hurdle in the Ghanaian community. Henceforward\, Sustainability Week Central\, a local sustainability week group within the international network of Sustainability Week International believes it is imperative to leverage on this SDGs A & A week to raise a massive awareness within our local campus. \nOrganizer: Central University in Ghana \nPresenters: \n• Nii Noi Kofi Omaboe\, staff and climate activist\, United Nations Development Programme\, Ghana. \n• Andrews Nii Martey\, environmental activist and HR enthusiast\, central university\, Ghana \n  \nLINK TO JOIN VIA ZOOM COMING SOON \n10:00-11:00 am GMT URL:https://universityglobalcoalition.org/event/empowering-students-for-sustainability/ LOCATION:Virtual\, GA ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/empoweringstudents.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Justin Nixon":MAILTO:nixon2jey@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220304T050000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220304T061500 DTSTAMP:20260407T125258 CREATED:20220211T151637Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220228T173208Z UID:1305-1646370000-1646374500@universityglobalcoalition.org SUMMARY:Campaña Mundial por la Educación: llamada a la acción por el ODS 4 / Global Campaign on Education: Call for action for de SDG4 (IN SPANISH; 11:00 AM -12:15 PM CET) DESCRIPTION:4-03-2022 11:00 AM -12:15 PM Madrid (CET) \n¡La educación está en crisis! En esta sesión\, desde la Campaña Mundial por la Educación (CME) en España\, haremos una revisión del estatus actual del ODS4 (por el Derecho a la Educación)\, y veremos los impactos y retos que ha supuesto la pandemia\, utilizando dinámicas interactivas. Llamando a la acción para lograr alcanzar el ODS 4 en los ocho años que quedan por delante hasta el 2030\, presentaremos la Campaña\, cuáles son nuestras líneas de trabajo\, nuestras demandas y acciones en la defensa del derecho a la educación. Las personas participantes podréis también inspiraros conociendo la experiencia de una joven activista de la CME en Galicia\, que ella misma os contará. \nUn poco de contexto…\nHablamos de una emergencia sin precedentes. En esta vuelta al cole\, en septiembre de 2021 (más de un año y medio después del inicio de la pandemia)\, UNESCO alertaba que 117 millones de alumnos y alumnas\, el 7\,5 % de la población escolar mundial\, seguían viéndose afectadas por el cierre total de escuelas. Aún a fecha de hoy sigue habiendo países donde las escuelas permanecen cerradas.\nLa pandemia no ha hecho sino agravar los retos en el acceso a una educación equitativa\, inclusiva y de calidad para todas las personas y ha puesto en evidencia las crecientes desigualdades. Quienes se encontraban en situación de vulnerabilidad social o económica\, han visto reducidas sus posibilidades de acceso\, permanencia y disfrute en una educación de calidad y equitativa. Sin embargo\, en este contexto de emergencia\, la comunidad educativa ha tenido que adaptarse\, mostrando una vez más el papel fundamental de la educación y de los y las docentes en la construcción de sociedades equitativas y sostenibles. \nGarantizar una educación inclusiva\, equitativa y de calidad y promover oportunidades de aprendizaje durante toda la vida para todos (ODS4) es la base de la transformación social para la generación de soluciones globales y el cambio sistémico\, donde el bienestar de las personas y del planeta están en el centro. Así\, lograr el ODS 4 es imprescindible para la consecución del resto de objetivos de la Agenda 2030.\nPor todo ello\, es imprescindible contar con la participación de todos nosotros y nosotras. ¡Trabajando conjuntamente avanzaremos en lograr que la educación de calidad para todas las personas sea por fin una realidad! \nKasia Tusiewicz – Coordinadora de la Campaña Mundial por la Educación en España\nElena Rua Arruñada – Miembro del Equipo de Coordinación estatal de la CME en España\nPatricia Meléndez Luces – Joven activista en la Campaña Mundial por la Educación en Galicia \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/85496873672?pwd=N3c2Z2g1bGRLRkF6dlNPT3Q0RDFJdz09 \nPasscode: 220130 URL:https://universityglobalcoalition.org/event/campana-mundial-por-la-educacion-llamada-a-la-accion-por-el-ods-4/ LOCATION:Virtual\, GA ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Press_Centre.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Kasia Tusiewicz":MAILTO:info@cme-espana.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220304T060000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220304T070000 DTSTAMP:20260407T125258 CREATED:20220225T142704Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220304T141727Z UID:1436-1646373600-1646377200@universityglobalcoalition.org SUMMARY:The power of partnership: SDG 17 and university partnerships to achieve the goals (11am-12pm GMT) DESCRIPTION:11am-12pm GMT \nThe United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are the world’s call to action on the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing humanity and the natural world. Universities around the world play a key role in developing partnerships to address all of the SDGs. The University of Manchester currently leads the world for impact on the SDGs. Like other universities we have significant local\, national and global partnerships\, and we would like to use these to prompt conversation about how university partnerships help our sector to tackle global development challenges. The event will feature a local partnership from our pioneering BeeWell project; a national partnership from our UK Productivity Institute; and a global partnership discussing our work with the Association of Commonwealth Universities. We will then finish with an open invitation for organizations around the world to partner with us in addressing the SDGs through our University Living Labs initiative. \nTo access the University Living Labs partnership opportunity\, click here: universitylivinglab.org \nOrganizer: The University of Manchester \nPresenters: \nDr Julian Skyrme\, Director of Social Responsibility\, The University of Manchester (Chair) \nNeil Humphrey\, Head of Manchester Institute of Education\, from the BeeWell project \nNicola Pike\, Engagement & Operations Director\, from The Productivity Institute \nBright Amanful from our Association for Commonwealth Universities Queen Elizabeth Scholar initiative \nDr Jennifer O’Brien\, Academic Lead for Sustainability Teaching and Learning\, The University of Manchester \n  \nWatch live on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Hir0xWvkb4 URL:https://universityglobalcoalition.org/event/the-power-of-partnership-sdg-17-and-university-partnerships-to-achieve-the-goals-11am-12pm-gmt/ LOCATION:Virtual\, GA ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/manchester.png ORGANIZER;CN="Rachel Grunnill":MAILTO:rachel.grunnill@manchester.ac.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220304T073000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220304T083000 DTSTAMP:20260407T125258 CREATED:20220218T140713Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220222T192510Z UID:1351-1646379000-1646382600@universityglobalcoalition.org SUMMARY:Global Perspectives on Strong Institutions Roundtable DESCRIPTION:What makes a strong institution? \nJoin us virtually on March 4th from 1:30 – 2:30 PM (CET) to discover diverse perspectives from global experts and hear their take on Sustainable Development Goal #16 – Peace\, Justice and Strong Institutions. \nGeneva Business School’s very own Jane Oma Okoro will moderate this insightful discussion between thought leaders at Microsoft\, the United States Institute of Peace\, Swiss Solidarity\, La Puerta de Africa\, the United Nations\, and Geneva Business School. \nJane Oma Okoro\, Professor at Geneva Business School\, Bridge Builder and Mentor.\nOtilia Phiri\, Principal Corporate Counsel\, Emerging Markets\, Africa\, Levant & Pakistan at Microsoft.\nTyler Beckelman\, Director of International Partnerships at United States Institute of Peace.\nDr. Oliver Elliot\, Lecturer\, Global Doctoral Program Manager and Head of Research at Geneva Business School.\nViviane Ogou Corbi\, Specialist in EU-Africa relations and Founder/President of La Puerta de África.\nPablo lo Moro\, Associate Professor at Geneva Business School and Senior Advisor to the United Nations and Swiss Solidarity. \nTo Join: https://gbsge.com/en/news/events/events/global-perspectives-on-strong-institutions-virtual-roundtable/ \nMarch 4th from 1:30 – 2:30 PM (CET) URL:https://universityglobalcoalition.org/event/global-perspectives-on-strong-institutions-roundtable/ LOCATION:Virtual\, GA ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/StrongInstitutions.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Georgette Townsley":MAILTO:gtownsley@gbsge.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220304T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220304T120000 DTSTAMP:20260407T125258 CREATED:20220301T194804Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220301T194804Z UID:1459-1646391600-1646395200@universityglobalcoalition.org SUMMARY:SDGs and PEOPLES in a Region: Strategic OUTSTEPS for Students into a Career of Matching Interests and Expertise DESCRIPTION:Since the adoption of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals by all United Nations Member States in 2015\, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has been used to form collaborations between various stakeholders\, rightsholders\, and industries with multiple levels of government. Ranging from international\, national\, state\, and local to even neighborhood and family-scale\, the main challenges lie in forming multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural partnerships with individuals giving their best to collaborate across disciplinary\, cultural\, and administrative borders. A crucial step in creating these collaborations is the education and integration of the next generation of students that have to carefully navigate the stormy waters of past historical realities\, current limitations\, and future looming crises. The speaker will share strategies for students to analyze and prepare themselves for careers in a field that bridges industry\, administration\, and government. To successfully link\, integrate and develop future collaborations linking PEOPLES’ interests and expertise requires one to step out of conventional procedures. The speaker led the development of the OUTSTEPS.org network in creating a regional network of expertise and knowledge to work on sustainability and community resilience and will describe how students can create their future careers in this field of work. \n  \nPresenter: Chris Renschler\, Professor of Geography at the University at Buffalo\, Fulbright Scholar and Director of OUTSTEPS.org \n  \nTO JOIN: https://buffalo.zoom.us/j/99620187530?pwd=NVMrZ1dTUkNkOVd0OGVnZmEvMkkyQT09 \nMeeting ID: 996 2018 7530\nPasscode: 56624877 URL:https://universityglobalcoalition.org/event/sdgs-and-peoples-in-a-region-strategic-outsteps-for-students-into-a-career-of-matching-interests-and-expertise/ LOCATION:Virtual\, GA ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/outsteps.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Netra Mittal":MAILTO:netramit@buffalo.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220304T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220304T140000 DTSTAMP:20260407T125259 CREATED:20220307T194855Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220307T194925Z UID:1491-1646391600-1646402400@universityglobalcoalition.org SUMMARY:Gender Equality and Leadership in the Maritime (18.00-21.00 Romania) DESCRIPTION:Online debate event aiming to empower female students in the maritime sector. \nOrganizer: Constanta Maritime University \nREGISTER: www.ecsr.world URL:https://universityglobalcoalition.org/event/gender-equality-and-leadership-in-the-maritime/ LOCATION:Virtual\, GA ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ecsr-logo.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Cristina Dragomir":MAILTO:ecsr.world@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220304T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220304T144500 DTSTAMP:20260407T125259 CREATED:20220221T183423Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220222T200437Z UID:1385-1646402400-1646405100@universityglobalcoalition.org SUMMARY:Together|Ensemble Panel Discussion: Reflecting on SDG Reporting in Higher Education Institutions DESCRIPTION:Reporting on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has become increasingly common at higher education institutions as we move closer toward the objectives of Agenda 2030.
