The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, in collaboration with the All-Africa Students Union (AASU), and the Global Student Forum (GSF), is hosting the Global Students COP27 Pre-Summit in Accra, from 10th to 14th October, 2022 as a precursor to the main event; the 27th session of the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2022 (COP27), which will take place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, from 6th to 18th November, 2022.
The Pre-Summit brings together students and young people from sixteen (16) countries including Honduras, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, UK, Pakistan, Latvia, USA, Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya among others to help shape discussions on policy options to be deliberated at COP27 later in November, 2022. Through masterclasses, expert panel discussions, mock sessions, and workshops, the Accra Summit will discuss the impact(s) of climate change on education across the world and key political actions needed to adopt sustainability initiatives to protect education.
The goal of COP27 is to focus on global action on climate change by continuing to cut emissions and adapting to climate change to save lives.
The Global Student Forums takes this opportunity to commend the All-Africa Students Union (AASU) and the government of Ghana for hosting the event in Accra. The formal outcome document of this summit will be a global student decoration addressing the heads of states who will be present at COP27.
