Climate change education is essential for reducing vulnerability and increasing resilience to climate change. The power of education in climate change responses was acknowledged at the Paris Climate Conference (COP 21) in 2015 with Article 12 on education (UN 2015). Climate change education helps learners understand the causes and consequences of climate change, prepares them to live with its impacts, and empowers them to adopt more sustainable lifestyles. Based on a recent study on climate change education practices worldwide, there is a need to increase national activities related to climate change education, targeting a broader range of audiences; move beyond cognitive knowledge-centred approach to more focus on socio-emotional and behavioural learning outcomes; and increase the data available on the quantity and quality of climate change education (UNESCO 2010)cvi


. UNESCO has made a number of gains towards promoting


climate change and sustainable development education through their work on using education on sustainable development as a leapfrogging opportunity for development (UNESCO 2016c) and on better communication related to climate change and development (Zaval and Cornwell 2016).

The Seventeenth Convention of Parties on Climate Change in 2018 decided that developed country Parties should submit their biennial report two years after the due date of a full national communication (UNFCCC 2018). Compilation and synthesis of third biennial reports of Parties included in Annex I to the Convention noted that climate-related legal, institutional, and policy frameworks are being strengthened, reflecting lessons learned and responding to the requirement to prepare for the implementation of the Paris Agreement. Of the capacity-building activities reported, twice as many are aiming to build capacity for adaptation than for mitigation. In addition, numerous activities address capacity-building in multiple sectors, and a minority are focusing on technology development and transfer. While technology transfer, together with capacity-building support, is focusing on the needs of developing countries in the lead-up to 2020, it is also helping to create and strengthen their institutional and policy frameworks for action after 2020.
