Education is key to prepare societies for global change. It plays a critical role in achieving Sustainable Development Goals and putting into practice the global agreement on climate change.
The critical role of education in climate change response was further recognized at the Paris Climate Conference COP 21. In the Paris Climate Agreement involving delegates from 195 countries, the Article on education was the first to be accepted. It states that “parties shall cooperate in taking measures…to enhance climate change education, training, public awareness, public participation and public access to information….”
