A Department of Education email from July 2025 forwards correspondence from Senator David Pocock urging Australia to join UNESCO's Greening Education Partnership and integrate education into Australia's 2035 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) update under the Paris Agreement. Senator Pocock notes that 90 nations, including the UK, have already formally integrated education into their NDC updates and argues that equipping young Australians with climate and environmental knowledge is essential given current climate and biodiversity crises. The email requests urgent advice on whether Australia intended to update its NDC that year and whether education would be included. No environmental data, regulatory decisions, or EPBC Act matters are addressed in this excerpt.
