Education and action are foundational in addressing the most significant challenge of our times – climate change.
The Australian Climate Change Education Summit and Action Plan brings together multiple education communities, including young people, teachers and educators, scientists, researchers, policymakers, and activists, to set the climate change education action agenda for 2024 onwards.
The Summit and Action Plan calls all education communities to action. We are working towards collaborative change (top down and bottom up).

The Summit will be held on Friday, 18th October 2024, from 11am to 4pm ADST, as a one-day online event.
A Summit Speaker Series unfolds through the year.
An Action Plan will be developed across the year that starts with a survey to collect your voice and thoughts about climate change education. We then draft an Action Plan for Australia – that will be delivered to our political leaders to inform a Climate Change education Strategy for Australia.
Join us for the Summit and showcase your work through the Summit Voices video opportunity. Connect with us to stay informed.
