EAUC's COP26 Campaign

28th September 2021

The COP26 summit (31 October – 12 November 2021) will bring parties together to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. This is an incredible opportunity for the Further and Higher Education sector to showcase the range of projects and initiatives that enable institutional climate and sustainability performance.

To ensure members receive the adequate support and guidance ahead of this milestone event, we are glad to be launching today (28th September 2021) the EAUC-led Countdown to COP26 Campaign. The role of the campaign will be to bring you a range of resources in line with the COP26 Goals that can enable you to create a sustainability legacy from COP26 within the sector.
