About EEASA 2026

This year, the Environmental Education Association of Southern Africa and the Malawi Local Organising Committee invites researchers, educators, policymakers, and practitioners to gather in Malawi — the Warm Heart of Africa — for the EEASA 2026 Annual Conference. Hosted at the Crossroads Hotel in Lilongwe, this three-day event brings together voices from across the region and beyond to reimagine the role of education in confronting our planet’s most urgent challenge: the climate crisis. The conference will be from 21–25 September 2026, (21st and 25th September being travel dates). The theme is: Reimagining Education for Climate Resilience, Justice, and Sustainable Futures.

The conference seeks to:

1. Examine the role of education in advancing climate action, environmental responsibility, and sustainable development in the Southern African region.
2. Explore innovative pedagogies, policies, and practices that support climate-smart and green education.
3. Interrogate issues of climate justice, loss and damage, reparations, and responsibility, and their implications for education.
4. Strengthen dialogue on education’s contribution to just transitions and sustainable livelihoods.
5. Share empirical research, case studies, and community-based experiences that demonstrate transformative approaches to ESD.
