Phase I: Climate Friendly Education (CFE)

closed

The overall objective is to expand the climate change agenda in LAC to promote education as a tool to enhance adaptive capacity and ensure that lifestyles and livelihoods are climate-friendly. The specific objectives are to contribute to: (i) greater interest among students in climate change and better information about how natural environments function and how individuals can manage their behavior and ecosystems to live sustainably; (ii) knowledge of teachers about how to change their pedagogical practices to foster learning about climate change through both formal and informal curricula; and (iii) interest of education policy makers to help schools and school systems integrate climate change into the curricula and ensure that schools are environmentally sustainable and carbon neutral.
