SUMMARY:Launch Event: Education in Times of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:6 October 2022\, 15:00-16:30 BST\nNORRAG is organising a launch
  event for the seventh edition of NORRAG Special Issue (NSI) entitled “E
 ducation in Times of Climate Change”.\nClimate change is not a new issue
  for education\, but new levels of consensus and concern are emerging\, su
 ggesting that new policy developments may follow. This NORRAG Special Issu
 e (NSI 07) addresses the question of how education is to equip learners to
  participate in climate action that would fundamentally disrupt existing p
 roblematic systems. This NSI has the potential to inform pedagogical praxi
 s\, co-learning\, curriculum\, climate action\, policy formulation\, frame
 works for evaluating success\, resourcing decisions and what we might cons
 ider educative acts for engaging with climate change and its multi dimensi
 onal uncertainties\, risks and opportunities.\nAbout the event\nThe two gu
 est editors\, Distinguished Professor Heila Lotz-Sisitka and Professor Eur
 eta Rosenberg from the Environmental Learning Research Centre\, Rhodes Uni
 versity (South Africa)\, will introduce and then moderate a panel includin
 g seven authors of articles in NSI 07. This launch highlights some of the 
 global and national perspectives in NSI 07\, and gives participants the op
 portunity to pose questions to these experts.\nThe launch event\, which ta
 kes place online\, is oriented towards researchers\, policymakers\, practi
 tioners and advocates who are interested and engaged in education broadly\
 , and education and climate change specifically.\nREGISTER HERE\nAgenda\nW

 ducation\, but new levels of consensus and concern are emerging\, suggesti
 ng that new policy developments may follow\, with hopefully a stronger con
 nection to the educational opportunities\, challenges and inequalities aro
 und the world and in particular in the Global South. Just how this is to b
 e done in education at all levels\, is not always clear. Educators in dive
 rse fields need to do and share a deeper analysis of climate change educat
 ion needs around the world quite urgently in order to inform policy formul
 ation\, the evaluation frameworks for success\, and resourcing decisions.\
