The Global Environmental Education Partnership (GEEP) brings together environmental education leaders from around the world. To mark the 40th anniversary of the Tbilisi Declaration in 2017, a milestone in the development of the field of EE, the GEEP developed a Call for Action which outlined 10 actions for the future (http://actnowforee.org). Hundreds of educators around the world vetted these 10 actions and helped outline key areas of focus for the field, highlighting the need to mark Tbilisi+40 with a commitment to build on the great work that's been done and think ahead to the future.

This month, the GEEP launched a global pledge for EE for people from all cultures, ages, walks of life, and professions to sign, committing to work towards three core goals: 

1. Every nation has an environmentally informed, empowered, and active populace and workforce.
2. The leadership of every government, business, NGO, and educational institution uses environmental education to achieve environmentally sustainable outcomes.
3. Every educational institution—formal and nonformal--incorporates environmental literacy into its mission, goals, and activities.

Take a moment to READ, SIGN, and SHARE the pledge, and as you read through the pledge and 10 actions we encourage you to consider how you and/or your organization can take part in this effort to promote universal environmental literacy. By signing it, you are endorsing these long-term goals and committing to do your part to achieve them (such as through the 10 actions!).

The GEEP will also build on the pledge and these actions by offering resources to share what others are doing and how to improve our practice to strengthen our collective impact. Please email us at info@thegeep.org to share your feedback, ideas, challenges, and success stories!
