In many countries, the effort to combat climate change is hampered by the lack of effective climate education programs. For Global Spotlight Report #23, we asked our Country Managers in leading greenhouse gas emitting countries to describe and comment on the status of their country’s climate education programs.
Sadly, many countries do not prioritize climate education at either the primary or secondary school levels. At best, it is taught as a component of environmental or sustainable development education programs. Occasionally, it is found as part of science education courses. But rarely do you encounter a program that addresses the role that humans play in global warming and the steps that we can take to address climate change in our own lifestyles and as citizen advocates, or programs that emphasize how to be resilient and respond to extreme weather events and other climate related emergencies.
