Highlights

The Regional Green School Platform (RGSP) is a regionally coordinated platform to accelerate the greening of education systems across Central Asia. It brings together governments, development partners, and, where relevant, engages multilateral and bilateral financial institutions and the private sector to advance climate change education, climate-resilient school infrastructure, youth-led climate action, and enable governance and financing systems in the education sector. 

The platform, envisaged to be endorsed at the Regional Ecological Summit (RES) in April 2026 in Astana, is a cooperative and voluntary mechanism to promote national green school concepts and expedite the greening of education systems throughout Central Asia through an approach that is centred on children and youth. 

The RGSP links regional knowledge exchange with national policy processes and existing financing frameworks for climate-responsive education systems, including NDCs 3.0 implementation. It aims to operationalize the commitments made by Central Asian countries to climate change education, green skills, and climate-resilient social infrastructure, as outlined in their NDCs 3.0, through coordinated regional dialogue and national-level action.
