The CANIE Accord
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.
CANIE Accord Documents
The CANIE Accord is designed to strengthen and accelerate the sector's commitment to climate action. Accompanying it, is the CANIE Glasgow Paper, to provide important research and context to the CANIE Accord framework.

Self-organizing towards collective action
In November 2021, CANIE convened a forum of international education peak body and association leaders to collaboratively articulate the sector’s climate ambitions and commit to taking action. The CANIE Accord is a product of the November leaders forum and enables international educators to sign and demonstrate, for the first time as a sector, a shared commitment to align with scientific recommendations and international climate agreements.
