Forging next steps into the SDG second half 17 ROOMS

The Room launched a new global repository of 100 outstanding teacher-led climate education solutions and crafted a strategy to incorporate the voices and experiences of teachers and climate educators in the design and implementation of national climate and education plans. [...] ROOM ACTIONS ROOM 5: ADDRESSING CLIMATE AND CARE SIMULTANEOUSLY Climate change has exacerbated the caregiving responsibilities that largely fall to women and girls around the world and highlighted the need for greater societal and government attention to the provision of care services and infrastructure. [...] The new narrative will aim to bring water to the top of the global agenda, embed water across the SDGs, and sow the seeds for global water action. [...] To unlock market access and finance for global south economies and communities, Room 13 will build a wider consensus about the legitimacy of carbon markets as a valid and sustainable global climate solution, the value they offer to global south actors, and the role that the Global South can play in carbon removals. [...] Room 2 members have also played an active role in assisting the implementation of insect protein policies and standards at the national level, for example in the recent development and approval of new standards in Ethiopia to regulate the production, handling, and processing of insect-based animal feed and fertilizer.
