Hosted by the Shanghai Municipal Institute for Lifelong Education (SMILE), the May working meeting of the “BRICS+” Joint Laboratory on Climate Change Education and Green Development brought together scholars and practitioners from across the Global South. Participants welcomed new members, shared emerging research and practical experiences, reviewed ongoing initiatives, and explored future opportunities for collaboration, which further strengthens international cooperation in climate education, green development, and sustainable futures.
