Expert Meeting on Climate Change Education in Africa

The expert meeting will focus on four thematic blocks: target the most affected and vulnerable, draw from a variety of knowledge sources, prepare for disaster, and building green societies through green job training.

It will, in particular:
• promote the important contribution education can make to address climate change effects in African countries;
• further the effective integration of climate change issues into education programmes and school curricula in African countries;
• identify climate change adaptation and mitigation needs and responses for education systems and education institutions, including infrastructure, management and resourcing;
• enhance the exchange of experiences and good practices on climate change education among ministries, teachers, practitioners and young people;
• identify opportunities for partnerships between schools, NGOs, UN agencies and UNESCO networks to enhance formal and non-formal education programmes on climate change.
