Celebrating 10 Editions of Collective Climate Action

<p>As we mark the 10th edition of our Sustainability Newsletter, we take a moment to reflect with pride on how far we&rsquo;ve come&mdash;together. Across our Global Schools Group (GSG) campuses, sustainability is more than a goal; it&rsquo;s a way of life. It&rsquo;s woven into the fabric of our whole-school approach and brought to life through student-led, hands-on learning.</p>

<p>Being part of the team that helps implement these initiatives, it&rsquo;s heartening to see the meaningful progress we&#39;ve made and the growing enthusiasm across our school communities.</p>

<p>Looking ahead, we&rsquo;re excited about one of the most anticipated events on our calendar&mdash;<strong>GED-MCOP 2025</strong>. Read about it here: <a href="https://news.gsf.info/global-schools/mark-your-calendars-ged-mcop-2025-igniting-innovation-and-sustainability-1" target="_new">GED-MCOP 2025: Igniting Innovation and Sustainability</a></p>

<p>This inspiring event will shine a light on the creativity, leadership, and action of our students and educators, reinforcing our shared commitment to a greener, more sustainable future.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
