dc.description.abstractThis note identifies the challenges that climate change imposes on education systems, including how ready students are to cope with climate change, the level of resilience of education systems, and climate sustainability strategies in the provision of education services. It continues with a conceptual framework on the value education adds to the climate change agenda. And finally, it presents actions to foster the development of knowledge, values and capacity for climate action, as well as skills for green jobs during school age, strategies to increase the resilience of the education system to climate change and options to reduce GHG emissions in the educational service.
