🌐 Join the PRME Global Students Ambassador Program in Eurasia

In partnership with the PRME Global Students (PGS), the PRME Chapter Eurasia is thrilled to announce the launch of the PGS Ambassador Program in Eurasia - a unique opportunity for students across the region to engage in a transformative leadership education experience.

The PGS Ambassador Program is a 10-week workshop training that will take place on ten consecutive Saturdays from 12 October to 14 December 2024. Each class will last two hours from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm CET, and professors representing the PRME Working Groups will lecture in the Program, thus sharing their expertise in various global issues to empower students to drive change and promote sustainability and responsible management within their academic and professional communities. This is a fantastic chance for students to connect with like-minded peers, develop leadership skills, and contribute to global sustainability efforts.

The PGS Ambassador Program is implemented by a dedicated student-led PGS Taskforce led by the co-coordinators, Muhammad Daffa Adjisena and Suhani Khera (cc'd), with support from Paulo Speroni from the PRME Secretariat.

Solve Climate by 2030 Multi-Stakeholder Recommendations for Responsible Management Education in Eurasia

Event Partners: Narxoz University, Bard College (Bard Center for Environmental Policy), Global Compact Office Kazakhstan, Business Schools for Climate Leadership Africa, Central Asian Regional Environmental Center (Kazakhstan Country Office), UNESCO

Background

The 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29 UNFCCC) is scheduled for November 11-24 in Baku, Azerbaijan. COP29 will serve as a pivotal platform for negotiating international climate policies, advancing climate action, and fostering global cooperation to achieve a sustainable and resilient future. Among the many stakeholders who will participate in the deliberations and negotiations at the annual climate conference, academia and business have a significant role to play in accelerating the climate agenda.

The projected rise in earth’s temperature will be disastrous for people and the planet. In just one generation, the global temperature is projected to warm by 1.5 degrees Celsius and between 2-4 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. Therefore, proactive measures must be taken now to prevent it.

Building from a similar event hosted by PRME Chapter Eurasia co-Chair, Narxoz University, prior to COP26, the Narxoz team have partnered with the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), the academic initiative of the United Nations Global Compact, the world’s largest corporate responsibility network, to initiate dialogue and develop recommendations for business and academia ahead of COP29.

Concept of the event

This online event aims to engage in a multi-stakeholder dialogue, with academia, businesses, students, civil society and the governments of the Eurasian region, in order to produce recommendations on the future of responsible business and management education in the lead up to the COP. This will be done recognizing the unique geographical and cultural connections these countries have and shared interests for climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Outcomes

The intended outcome of this event is to prepare a set of multi-stakeholder recommendations in three categories, and to be delivered to business, governments and higher education institutions, ahead of COP negotiations. The three categories include:

  1. Recommendations for governments (including education ministries) and higher education institutions for making ambitious climate commitments in their policies, strategies, and curricula.
  2. Recommendations for business on how higher education and the private sector can collaborate to accelerate the SDGs and take bold climate action together (i.e through applied research projects).
  3. Recommendations from students for the above two categories (business and higher ed), on what are needs and wants of the next generation of business leaders in terms of green skills and green jobs. This section will also be informed by the outcomes of the UN’s Higher Education Sustainability Initiative (HESI) Student Action Group event during the High Level Political Forum.
    1. `Green Skills and Green Jobs Report launched at the HESI-SAG event in PRME, Global Compact offices on 17 July https://sos.earth/green-skills...

In parallel, this online event will be used as a precursor for launching and promoting initiatives during COP29 side events and pavilions. Such initiatives can include but are not limited to: the Business Schools for Climate Leadership (BS4CL) for Eurasia, exploring how business schools can contribute to the implementation of the recommendations, exploring topical issues common among the Eurasian countries.
