In the wake of a changing global environment, the 8th NYC Green School Conference, scheduled for September 23-24, 2024, at the ILR School, Cornell University, New York, emerges as a critical platform.

Coinciding with the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly and the Summit of the Future at UNGA, the conference aspires to pivot educational practices towards sustainability.

Anchored in the UNESCO Greening Education Partnership's four pillars, the Summit of the Future at UNGA's vision, and the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact, this gathering is set to redefine greening education to address contemporary global challenges.

At its core, the 8th NYC Green School Conference 2024 seeks to unite diverse voices from the educational sphere, sustainability sectors, and beyond.

Our mission is to catalyze meaningful conversations, share pioneering strategies, and forge partnerships that pave the way for an integrative approach to environmental education and sustainability in academic settings.
