What is the relationship between #education and #ClimateChange? A group of researchers, activists, donors, and policymakers including AIR's Jessie Pinchoff, have come together to outline a new research agenda that aims to protect children's education in the face of a deepening climate crisis. The agenda focuses on the effects of climate change on students' learning and well being, and proposes increasing the evidence base around the use of education as a powerful tool for climate action.

The need for climate change education is compounded by a dual concern: Teachers in need of resources and training, and climate change’s impact on school attendance rates. UNICEF reports that approximately 1 billion students live in extremely high climate-risk areas, causing them to miss school altogether due to weather safety (Children’s Climate Risk Index). In the 2021 study, “Getting Schools Climate-Ready,” 47% of national curricula from 100 countries failed to reference climate change in any way. But is there hope? Yes! Read more from Jane Marsh on what educators, policymakers, and community members are doing to ensure climate education is included in education standards. https://lnkd.in/gfAsPdKF Earth.Org

On International Day of Education, let's not forget the impact of #ClimateChange on school-age kids. Did you know that over 40 million children's education is disrupted each year due to climate change and ecosystem degradation? The effects are compounded for historically marginalized and low-income communities. Let's work towards a future where every child has access to a quality education despite the challenges posed by climate change. #Education #ClimateAction

"Children and young people are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis, but also at the forefront of climate action" An excellent blog by Deepali Gupta that succinctly captures the growing recognition of education as a tool for climate action and the steps needed to create climate-smart education systems. Since COP 28 there has been an increase in consensus amongst policymakers that - 1. Climate change is disrupting education systems globally, but particularly in climate-vulnerable countries in the global south which have not contributed to the climate crisis 2. Climate education is a critical tool for climate action. Children need to be empowered with the knowledge and solutions to tackle future climate challenges. "We now need to see this political will, financing and collaboration for climate smart-education systems grow, to ensure all children are resilient to and protected throughout climate shocks." We're so glad to be playing our part by bringing #climateeducation to children all over the world.

Climate change is threatening the right of nearly 1 billion children to quality, safe education globally! 📚 To address this threat, we've joined forces with the Green Climate Fund and the Global Partnership for Education to invest US$70 million in building climate-resilient schools in vulnerable nations. Building the Climate Resilience of Children and Communities through the Education Sector (BRACE) marks the first major investment of climate finance in the education sector and will be the world’s largest-ever investment in school climate resilience. This game-changing investment will support education systems in vulnerable countries to construct climate-resilient and green schools, integrate climate change in school curricula and provide early warning systems to schools 👏 "We know children are the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, while being the least responsible for its causes. We’re proud to partner to help the education sector adapt to the impacts of climate change and keep children safe and learning", said Save the Children CEO Inger Ashing.

"#Climatechange and #education are highly interlinked. For example, climate change affects the delivery and quality of education around the world – as climate related weather events such as fires and flooding disrupt educational provision. Since climate change impacts are greater on marginalized groups, this particularly has implications for some communities, including many in the Global South. "Education is also essential for mitigating and adapting to climate change. It is vital for empowering children, youth and adults to mobilize their communities in moving away from fossil fuels and towards addressing inequities related to climate change... "...More education, of the right kind, is crucial to engender the social and political will and capacity to address the climate crisis with the urgency and skills required."

Climate education should be integrated into all subjects at all grade levels as soon as possible to help address the climate crisis, tackle the mental health challenges faced by youth, and promote the growth of the green economy. Climate education materials should be rooted in scientific research, advocate for climate justice and fairness, and be available to all students #SDG4 #ClimateEducation #GreenEducation #ESDfor2030 #JustTeachIt
