Climate Action Network for International Educators - CANIE

The 36th annual Australian International Education Conference (AIEC) was hosted in Adelaide and online 10 to 13 October 2023.

This year’s theme ‘international education: visionary and transformative’ focuses on the role that innovation plays in transforming the experiences of our students and the communities in which they live, work and study.

Winning this award from EAIE means the world to all of us at CANIE. It reminds us that all the hard work put in by volunteers around the world is recognised and is starting to have some impact. More than this, it gives us hope that collectively, as a sector, we can rise to the challenge of climate change and find new ways to make the vital work of internationalisation more sustainable and climate-positive.

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.
