聯合國教科文組織全球學習型城市網絡（Global Network of Learning Cities，GNLC）舉辦一系列研討會，主要目標是促進GNLC成員之間的交流學習。本次會議主題為「建設綠色、包容和氣候韌性的城市區域—學習型城市的方法」，探討與學習型城市發展相關的各種主題，當中特別關注氣候危機對地方社區的影響，其中「數位學習如何促進城市社區的氣候教育」為此次活動的討論重點。會議內容主要針對如何在快速數位化的時空背景下，利用數位平台、線上學習、虛擬實境等方式，來促進學習型城市及其他地區進行關於氣候變遷的終身學習。
目前城市所排放的二氧化碳量約占全球二氧化碳總排放量的75％，其中交通系統和辦公大樓對於氣候危機佔據著關鍵的比例。城市不僅在綠色經濟轉型中居於核心地位，同時也擔任著賦予當地區域知識和技能方面的前哨角色，這對於打破全球長久以來的不環保的消費習慣、生產方式及運輸模式來說至關重要。會議中亦討論如何確保數位素養較低的地區或個人獲取數位資源等關鍵的問題。
此次研討會的主要討論內容和結論將會編寫成會議摘要，以供未來的政策和行動提供參考。
Global Network of Learning Cities webinar ‘How digital learning can promote climate education in urban communities’
On 19 June 2024, the webinar series: ‘Building green, inclusive and climate-resilient urban communities – the learning cities approach’ by the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities, will feature the webinar ‘How digital learning can promote climate education in urban communities’.
Currently responsible for around 75 per cent of global CO2 emissions, cities – and in particular the transport systems and office buildings – play a pivotal role in the world’s response to the climate crisis. In addition to being central to the transformation to inclusive and green economies, cities are also at the forefront of efforts to empower local communities with the knowledge and skills that are needed to break long-established patterns of unsustainable consumption, production and mobility. UNESCO learning cities, with their strong expertise in lifelong learning, are uniquely positioned to instil climate consciousness and equip local residents with the green skills essential for a sustainable society.
This webinar will focus on how in the context of rapid digitalization, digital tools can be used to promote access to lifelong learning opportunities for climate action in learning cities and beyond. It will look at how access to quality lifelong learning opportunities promoting climate action can be widened at the local level using digital platforms and online learning offerings. It will explore how climate change education can be reinforced through gamification and immersive experiences like virtual reality, and will critically discuss the crucial issue of ensuring access in areas with low connectivity and for individuals with low digital literacy skills.

About the webinar series
Leading up to the sixth International Conference on Learning Cities (ICLC 6) themed ‘Learning cities at the forefront of climate action,’ the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities (GNLC) hosts the webinar series ‘Building green, inclusive and climate-resilient urban communities – the learning cities approach’.
The webinars will explore a variety of topics related to learning city development, with a particular emphasis on how the climate crisis affects local communities. Special attention will be given to examining the connections between the climate emergency and other thematic areas of focus within the global network, including lifelong learning for health and global citizenship education. The primary goal of the webinars is to facilitate exchange and peer-learning among GNLC members. Summaries of the sessions will subsequently be compiled to inform a background document for ICLC 6
