Engaging the education sector in the NAP process

The document provides a framework for education ministries to integrate their sector into the national adaptation plan (NAP) process. It argues that because the education sector is both highly vulnerable to climate change and essential for community resilience, it must coordinate with climate actors to align sector plans with national commitments and secure adaptation financing.

• The education sector is characterized as being simultaneously highly susceptible to climate impacts and a vital component for enhancing the adaptive capacity and resilience of communities.
• Utilizing the NAP process allows the education sector to raise the profile of its priorities, justify the need for adaptation financing, and ensure alignment with national climate commitments.
• Effective adaptation within the education sector requires coordination and collaboration between education and climate change actors, which are central elements of the NAP process.
