Chaired by Tongji University

Inspiration The education sector has a critical role as a non-state actor in driving the Race to Zero. As anchor institutions in our communities, universities and colleges have a leadership role in bringing together business, industry and regions for a healthy, resilient, zero carbon recovery that prevents threats, creates decent jobs and unlocks inclusive, sustainable growth. We need to build momentum around the shift to a decarbonized economy ahead of COP27, sending governments a resounding signal that the education sector is united in meeting the Paris goals.
