Background:
Global Schools is excited to announce the showcase of the Schools for Goal 7 initiative at the 2026 ECOSOC Partnership Forum. The ECOSOC Partnership forum is taking place on January 27th at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
This year's Forum, themed "Transformative, equitable, innovative, and coordinated actions for the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs for a sustainable future for all," aims to unite governments, UN agencies, international organizations, educators, and civil society to highlight impactful partnerships that drive progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This year, there will be a particular focus on SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), which will be reviewed at the 2026 High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) in July. Therefore, Global Schools will organize a virtual side event on January 27th at 9am ET, to showcase the role of education in advancing SDG 7. The event underscores international efforts to promote affordable, sustainable energy through innovative learning methods in the Schools for Goal 7 program.
