ICN has adapted our tried and tested UN-style climate conference format to sit within school priorities and time-constraints. It can be used in a range of settings: classroom; year groups; on-line; with neighbouring schools.
Student teams are guided to research and represent a range of countries, presenting their country pledges andclimate challenges. Role-play methodologies bring to life critical climate negotiations and collaborations to raise global ambition for action during the conference.
For COP27 we have updated our award-winning COP26 in the Classroom resource and continued its objective to sharply focus on lived experience of climate change around the world, particularly for young people and the most vulnerable. Working with our Erasmus+ I-CAN project partners (see I-CAN page below), this resource now forms part of a comprehensive new Climate Action Toolkit.
