Climate Action Network for International Educators - CANIE
CANIE is a volunteer grassroots initiative formed by international education practitioners from around the world who see the need for our sector to step up and act on climate. CANIE serves as a platform to bring the sector together to act as a catalyst for action.

The most recent UN Intergovernmental Panel Report on Climate Change sounded an alarm; "A Code Red for Humanity" and emphasized the need for the most ambitious paths to be followed in emissions reduction to have any chance of keeping global warming within 1.5°C above pre-industrial baseline levels by the end of the century. The longer we delay action, the sharper the necessary emissions cuts will have to be.

The CANIE Accord
Take climate action! Become a signatory of the CANIE Accord.
Following the CANIE COP26 Leaders Forum, back in November 2021, our sector has come together at the highest level to organize around the truth that we are facing a climate crisis that International Education has a role to play in leading on action, and a set of principles to guide those actions as we work towards net-zero.
How can your organization take climate action today? Learn about the commitments your organization can make to become a signatory of the CANIE Accord, and read the CANIE Glasgow Paper, which provides important research and context to the CANIE Accord framework.
