The climate crisis is an education crisis. Education systems are both severely impacted by environmental and climate crises and have a critical role to play in securing a sustainable future for all.

This session spotlights some of the recently produced evidence and practice guidance in the climate-education nexus. It also explores opportunities for strengthened collaboration to build climate-smart education systems that can both prepare and withstand shocks while also leveraging education’s critical role in securing a sustainable future for all.
