The Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), one of the world’s largest climate and environmental education networks, kicked off its annual National Operators Meeting (NOM) 2025 on Monday at the International Youth Centre (IYC), Kuala Lumpur.
The event is hosted by the Green Growth Asia Foundation (GGAF), FEE’s official national member in Malaysia and will run from 15-18 September 2025 hosting nearly 200 delegates from 48 countries.
Following NOM is the EcoCampus International Conference (ECIC) which takes place from 18–20 September 2025. The Empowering Malaysia’s Green Future Masterplan will be launched at the ECIC.
With over 110 member organisations across 85 countries and more than 40 years of experience in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), FEE connects global commitments with grassroots action.
“FEE bridges the gap between high-level climate commitments and grassroots capacity, empowering educators, students, and communities through EcoCampus and EcoSchools to deliver measurable, quality-assured sustainability outcomes,” said Dr. Nikos Petrou, President of FEE.
Aligned with UNESCO’s ESD for 2030 and the Greening Education Partnership, the Empowering Malaysia’s Green Future Masterplan will strengthen teacher capacity, link learning to green jobs, and expand hands-on projects in schools and campuses.
FEE’s flagship EcoSchools and EcoCampus programmes embed sustainability into education by turning classrooms and campuses into ‘living laboratories’. These initiatives now connect directly to green skills, micro-credentials, and industry mentorships to make graduates job-ready.
ESG-aligned indicators will enable auditable and comparable reporting for schools, universities, and corporate partners, strengthening community impact while supporting disclosure regimes.
And linking schools, SMEs, and campuses helps local ecosystems raise sustainability performance in line with Scope 3 requirements. And with delegates from multiple regions exchanging proven solutions, models can be rapidly localised and scaled, accelerating impact for education, industry, and cities.
The momentum continues with ECIC where universities and colleges will showcase living lab projects, link green skills to employability, and exchange best practices with international peers.
