The Ubuntu Alliance, in its meeting in April 2006 in Yokohama, established the Committee of Peers for RCEs. This Committee reviews applications for new RCEs and provides recommendations to UNU during the RCE acknowledgement process. The United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS) acts as Secretariat of the Ubuntu Alliance. 

The Global RCE Service Centre gladly announces an open call to host RCE events in 2020.

Applications are being accepted to host the following events:

All 17 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) took centre stage at the 11th Global RCE Conference, which was hosted by RCE Cebu at the University of the Philippines, Cebu from 7-9 December, 2018 under the theme 'Education for the Sustainable Development Goals'.

Hosted by RCE Cebu, the 11^th Global RCE Conference will take place in Cebu, the Philippines, from 7-9 December, 2018, under the theme ‘Education for the Sustainable Development Goals’. All 17 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will take centre stage, as the SDGs offer RCEs diverse entry points to tackle sustainable development issues relevant to their respective regions through education and training at all levels.

The Global RCE Network is guided by principles of open communication, fair play, the sharing of ideas and support of each other. With even greater cooperation and understanding towards each other’s needs, we will forge new friendships and deepen old ones during the coming year.

Bringing together 35 RCEs from 22 countries, the ‘First RCE Thematic Conference: Towards Achieving the SDGs’ was held in Okayama, Japan from 5-7 December, 2017.
