Supporting COP28’s vision towards being a COP of Action, RewirEd Summit at COP28 will serve as a ‘Summit of Solutions’ that emerge from the intersection of education and climate, as well as provide both education and climate actors a global platform, in order to shift the focus from challenges to resolutions and showcase the tremendous value of a transformed education system in driving progress and prosperity for people and the planet across all sustainable development goals.”
