The Global Environmental Education Partnership: Building Bridges to Create a Global Learning Network
The Global Environmental Education Partnership (GEEP) is a learning network designed to champion and advance environmental education (EE) around the world. The North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) serves as secretariat for the GEEP, in partnership with the U.S. EPA and EPA Taiwan. Since 2014, the GEEP has been working to build bridges among EE stakeholders; share effective practice; demonstrate the value and impact of EE as a tool for achieving the SDGs; support and mentor a new generation of leaders; and promote innovation.
Most recently, in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the Tbilisi Declaration, the GEEP launched a global Call for Action to seek input from environmental educators around the world on future directions for our field. During this presentation, we will provide an overview of the GEEP, and share findings and next steps related to our global Call for Action, which received nearly 400 responses from 46 countries. We will also offer opportunities for future engagement and collaboration with the GEEP and NAAEE, including programs, conferences, and resources.
