Denmark and GPE

Denmark has been a long-standing, strong supporter of GPE since 2008, hosting the first GPE Replenishment Conference in November 2011.

Most recently, Denmark pledged over EUR 134 million to GPE for the 2022-2025 period, reiterating its commitment to develop and strengthen climate-resilient education systems to mitigate the impact of climate change in GPE partner countries.

Denmark represents, together with Estonia and Sweden, the Donor 2 constituency of the Board of Directors.

Dan Jørgensen, Minister for Development Cooperation and Global Climate Policy, Denmark
Denmark strongly welcomes GPE’s ambition to make education systems ‘climate smart’. Schools and learners must be protected from the destructive impact of climate change, and children and young people must be equipped with the knowledge and skills required to contribute to mitigation and adaptation.
