Integrating education sector NAP process

The document argues that because education is highly vulnerable to climate change and essential for community resilience, adaptation must be central to decision-making. It advocates for the NAP process to serve as a mechanism for coordination and collaboration between education and climate change actors to protect learning and infrastructure, particularly in fragile systems.

• The education sector is both highly susceptible to climate change impacts and a vital component for enhancing the resilience of communities. Human-induced climate change is currently causing the destruction of infrastructure and the disruption of learning, with the most fragile education systems being disproportionately affected.
• Creating a climate-resilient education sector requires that adaptation be central to decision-making, which necessitates coordination, collaboration, and action between actors in the climate change and education sectors. The National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process is identified as a tool to support this inter-sectoral coordination.
