Planetary Health offers an integrated\, transdisciplinary framework that addresses these interconnected challenges by placing human well-being within the context of Earth’s natural systems.While COP30 (to be held in Belém\, Brazil in 2025) represents a critical political moment to advance climate action globally\, education remains a powerful yet under-utilised lever for long-term transformation. Embedding Planetary Health into education systems—from primary schools to professional training—can empower citizens\, leaders\, and communities with the knowledge\, values\, and skills necessary to co-create a sustainable and equitable future. \n\n\n\nClick here for full details and to reserve your FREE place. Who is the event for?\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n● Educators\, researchers\, and students● Policymakers in all related areas● Youth and student organizations● Civil society and environmental NGOs● Indigenous leaders and traditional knowledge holders● International organizations (e.g.\, WHO\, UNESCO\, UNEP) \n\n\n\nWhat are the expected outcomes?\n\n\n\n● A shared understanding of the importance of Planetary Health education for climate action.● A set of recommendations to feed into the official COP30 processes and legacy initiatives.● Strengthened networks among educators\, institutions\, and civil society committed to transforming education for a healthy planet.● A public-facing communiqué or declaration on Planetary Health Education for COP30. \n\n\n\nClick here for full details and to reserve your FREE place. Supporting partners and organisations:\n\n\n\nPlanetary Health AllianceUniversity of São PauloPlanetary Health Brazil NetworkScotland’s United Nations University recognised Regional Centre of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development – Learning for Sustainability Scotland  URL:https://learningforsustainabilityscotland.org/events/educating-for-a-healthy-planet-advancing-planetary-health-literacy-on-the-road-to-cop30/ CATEGORIES:Colleges,Communities,Policy engagement,Schools and early learning,Universities,Youth ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://learningforsustainabilityscotland.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Educating-for-COP30-Page-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251110T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20261108T170000 DTSTAMP:20260404T111805 CREATED:20250904T173942Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251202T224717Z UID:9605-1762761600-1794157200@learningforsustainabilityscotland.org SUMMARY:'Live at COP30': explore more with our FREE legacy course DESCRIPTION:Our FREE ‘Live at the COP’ MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) is now available as a legacy course following COP30 in Belém\, Brazil. \n\n\n\nSince its first iteration in 2021 for COP26\, over 20\,000 people from over 170 countries have taken part in this collaborative\, facilitated learning opportunity. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout the course\n\n\n\nThis course offers you an opportunity to examine what the COP process is\, why it’s considered to be important\, and reflect on how you can add your voice to the call for collective action for a sustainable future. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nThroughout the course\, we shared ‘live’ insights into the issues being discussed at COP30\, as well as responses to the conference themes from children and young people\, community groups and ministerial bodies\, both nationally and internationally.

We have a chance to influence what comes next – and make sure the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are at the heart of how Scotland measures success. \n\n\n\nThe Deputy First Minister has set out proposals for six high-level National Outcomes\, cross-cutting perspectives (or “lenses”)\, and a stronger focus on “ways of working” and implementation. \n\n\n\nThe NPF could be a vital tool for policy coherence\, helping Scotland deliver on the SDGs and align public and private action. Does the current proposal get us there? What is missing\, and what would make implementation real rather than rhetorical? \n\n\n\nWe will use the Government’s own prompts as a starting point\, including how your work connects to the proposed outcomes\, how cross-cutting perspectives should be reflected\, and what stronger accountability\, transparency and culture change could look like in practice. \n\n\n\nIf you care about how Scotland sets direction\, measures what matters\, and makes long-term decisions\, please come along – either in-person or online – and add your voice. \n\n\n\nClick here to find out more and book your place.
