UNESCO – a global leader in education
Education is UNESCO’s top priority because it is a
basic human right and the foundation for peace
and sustainable development. UNESCO is the
United Nations’ specialized agency for education,
providing global and regional leadership to drive
progress, strengthening the resilience and capacity
of national systems to serve all learners. UNESCO
also leads efforts to respond to contemporary
global challenges through transformative learning,
with special focus on gender equality and Africa
across all actions.
The Global Education 2030 Agenda
UNESCO, as the United Nations’ specialized agency for
education, is entrusted to lead and coordinate the
Education 2030 Agenda, which is part of a global
movement to eradicate poverty through 17 Sustainable
Development Goals by 2030. Education, essential to
achieve all of these goals, has its own dedicated Goal 4,
which aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality
education and promote lifelong learning opportunities
for all.” The Education 2030 Framework for Action
provides guidance for the implementation of this
ambitious goal and commitments.
The Greening Education Partnership is an independent and inclusive community
of practice on the role of education in tackling climate change. It is led by national
governments, intergovernmental organizations, youth, civil society organizations,
and private sector, among others. The Secretariat is hosted by UNESCO’s
Headquarters in Paris. For more information, please contact gep@unesco.org.
