As new industries em

As new industries emerge, economies evolve and climate challenges grow, #chogm2026 presents an opportunity to invest in the skills people need to access new opportunities and build sustainable livelihoods.

COL's talking points on creating skills for livelihoods urge Commonwealth leaders and decision-makers to expand digital skills for youth and strengthen skills development across the green, blue and orange economies, opening pathways to employment, entrepreneurship and more resilient communities.

These priorities focus on turning the Commonwealth's rich resources, from agriculture and oceans to creativity and culture, into opportunities for skills development, innovation and sustainable livelihoods.

Changing learning sy

Changing learning systems to build a more skilled and resilient Commonwealth must be part of the conversation at #chogm2026.

As technology advances, the impacts of climate change intensify, and the skills needed for work evolve, education systems must adapt to prepare people for a changing world.

Under a broader call to change learning systems, COL advocates for more flexible, inclusive learning that builds future-ready skills, empowers teachers for the digital age, strengthens connections between education and employment, and expands lifelong learning opportunities.

What will it take for #CHOGM2026 to deliver real change?

The Hon Shirley Botchwey, Commonwealth Secretary-General, sets out a clear vision for a different kind of meeting this year: one that puts partnerships, investment and tangible results at the heart of the Commonwealth’s agenda.

At COL, we echo this call for action. In our new publication, Learning to accelerate in partnership, we put forward 15 strategic talking points and 12 concrete opportunities for action for Commonwealth leaders to consider at and beyond CHOGM. From expanding flexible learning to equipping young people with the skills they need for a changing world, we're calling for stronger collaboration to respond to the evolving needs and aspirations of the Commonwealth’s 2.7 billion people.
