OVERVIEW 11

EDUCATION FOR PRO-CLIMATEBE HAVIOR CHANGE 24

Summary 25

Has climate change prompted behavior change? Not really 26

Climate action is being impeded, in part, by missing and misleading information 27

Young people feel anxious and helpless in the face of climate change 27

Learning and skilling can help people drive climate action - for mitigation and adaptation 29

Education promotes mitigation behaviors 30

Education promotes adaptation behaviors, these are especially critical for low- and middle-income countries 31

Education can galvanize action today, not just tomorrow 32

Yet school education remains massively under-utilized for climate action 34

Many students still lack foundational skills, the building blocks of all climate skills 34

Education systems can do more to catalyze climate action 35

What should policymakers do? Three priorities to make schools work for climate action 39

Foundations first. Mainstream climate within foundational learning without crowding it out 39

Practical, actionable, and contextual climate curriculum 41

Build teacher capacity 44

Schools can do much more for climate action. The time to act is now 44

SKILLS FOR THE GREEN TRANSITION 46

Summary 47

What are green skills? 48

Most countries want green transitions 49

But green transitions demand green skills 51

Green skilling opportunities are closer and bigger than manythink - Busting 5 myths about green skills 53

Myth 1: Green skills are only relevant for high-income countries 53

Myth 2: Green skills are only relevant for those with higher education 56

Myth 3: Green skills are only relevant for technical and/or STEM fields 57

Myth 4: Green skills are only relevant for 'Green' Sectors 59

Myth 5: Green skills are highly sector-specific 62

But green skilling opportunities can also be unpredictable and inequitable 64

Students, Workers, and Governments want green skills, but don't know how to get them 66

What should policymakers do? Priorities for short and medium run 68

Short run priority: Increasing information and accessibility; especially around technical green skills 68

Medium run priority: Fostering adaptable workers and systems 69

ANNEX A: DEFINITIONS AND METHODOLOGY FOR GREEN SKILLS ANALYSIS 78

THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON EDUCATION AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT 82

Summary 83

Climate change is threatening education outcomes 84

Climate change is causing massive school closures 84

Rising temperatures threaten children and their education 88

Climate change impacts on health and fragility further erode education outcomes 91

The education impacts of climate change are an economic time-bomb 92

What should policymakers do? Adapt education systems for greater resilience through four steps 94

Education management for climate resilience 95

School infrastructure for climate resilience 97

Ensuring learning continuity in the face of climate shocks 100

Leveraging students and teachers as change agents 102

How much will adaptation of education sector cost? 104

Governments must act now to protect education from climate change 110
