UNESCO-UNEVOC virtual conference report – 02/13 November 2015 The Paris Agreement is in action now. The effects of climate change on countries is driving collective action to formulate green growth agendas, transform economic, social and environmental development goals and achieve critical environment-sensitive targets, bills and legislations that enable the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Due to the complex nature of climate change, there is a need to shift to multi-stakeholder engagement. Indeed, issues related to climate change cannot be addressed by one viewpoint alone, but rather need multiple perspectives and cross-sectoral engagement. Education and training plays an important role in this regard. Equipping youth and adults with technical and vocation skills for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship is an important target within the transformative education vision set out in Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, namely that of ‘inclusive, equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all.’ In this context, the need to transform the TVET sector to maximize its potential to contribute to the fulfilment of the SDG 4, as well as the promotion of green and sustainable economies and societies, is of high relevance. With an emphasis on action-oriented outcomes, this conference report seeks to define TVET’s transformative role in developed, as well as developing countries.
