Did you know? In 2025, around 85% of newly installed power capacity worldwide was renewable. 🌍⚡
Yet, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), 655 million people still lack access to electricity, and the energy sector remains responsible for three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Educators are on the front line of this transition: they are the ones who will help the next generation understand how our energy systems work and how to change them. That's why we're proud to join the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the Greening Education Partnership (GEP) and United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) for a virtual training course on renewable energy education, running 28 September to 1 October 2026, designed to give teachers the tools to bring these topics into their classrooms.
On 29 September, Mahdi Mansour from the Office for Climate Education will lead a session built around our activity Reading the Ocean from Space. The workshop shows how satellite data is used to monitor ocean and freshwater systems and how that very same technology helps assess hydropower, ocean, solar and wind energy potential. A concrete example of how Earth observation connects climate science directly to the renewable energy transition, ready to use in the classroom.
Open to primary and secondary teachers, community educators and education leaders. Certificate awarded by IRENA upon completion.
