“Fostering Global Engagement: Leveraging the NASA GLOBE International STEM Network”
The NASA Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program, with partners Education Development Center, CUNY, SUNY Fredonia, IGES, and Global STEM Education Center, Inc., is proud to lead multiple sessions at the United Nations (UN) General Assembly’s tenth annual Science Summit.

Launched in 1995, GLOBE is a worldwide science and education program that contributes to increased scientific understanding of the Earth, supports improved student achievement in science and mathematics, and engages citizen scientists.

GLOBE’s three UN General Assembly sessions, which Education Development Center coordinated as part of their work co-leading the GLOBE Implementation Office with CUNY, will spotlight GLOBE’s work to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Register to attend the Summit to participate in the sessions.

“The Science Summit at UNGA79 is an exciting opportunity to showcase GLOBE’s reach, impacts, and successful work around Earth Science learning and science diplomacy,” said Rebecca Lewis, Education Development Center’s Director of the GLOBE Implementation Office. “We welcome the opportunity to share how initiatives like GLOBE can both help prepare youth, educators, and citizens to advance the SDGs in local communities and create strong, SDG-focused global networks.”

The third GLOBE’s sessions at the 79th UNGA Science Summit will be held on September 17 at 11 AM US EDT
