Climate Change Communication and Education (CCE) Country Profiles
Communication and education are critical tools to help citizens understand and address the impacts of climate change. Quality CCE includes the holistic development of understanding, values and behaviours that can advance collective climate actions. Quality CCE addresses both climate change mitigation and adaptation, and includes a focus on climate justice and, where appropriate, indigenous knowledge (UNESCO, 2021).
The UN Secretary General’s Transforming Education Summit emphasized transforming education to fully contribute to solutions to the global climate and environmental crisis. It underlined the critical importance of preparing every learner to acquire the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to tackle climate change and to promote sustainable development.
