The Institute for Greening Education in Nigeria (IGEN) will take part in the UN Climate Change Conference (COP31) in Antalya, Türkiye, from 9 to 20 November 2026.
Our delegation, led by our Executive Secretary, Unyime Robinson, comes with a clear message: Africa's low-carbon future depends on a generation with the knowledge, skills and values to sustain it. Climate change education is core infrastructure investment, not an afterthought.
At COP31 we want to meet and work with:
🤝 Governments and ministries of education, environment and energy
🤝 Development partners, foundations and climate finance institutions
🤝 Energy, oil and gas, and private sector companies
🤝 UN agencies, multilateral bodies and research institutions
🤝 Civil society, educators and youth networks
We are open to:
✅ Bilateral meetings and partnership discussions
✅ Speaking slots on panels, pavilion sessions and side events
✅ Collaboration on climate education, green skills and green schools across Africa
✅ Joint programmes, research and investment in greening education
We will share insights from our work, including:
📘 Our State of Greening Education report and Policy Brief
🌱 The Greening Schools and Climate Change Education Intervention (GSCCEI), delivered under Nigeria's Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC)
⚡ Green skills training in solar PV, CNG conversion, smart agriculture and the circular economy
