La educación en los procesos del Plan Nacional de Adaptación

The report finds that while 98% of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) mention education, there is a significant gap in systemic integration. Only 40% include the education sector in impact and vulnerability assessments, and only 11% consulted Ministries of Education during the design process. While curriculum changes are common priorities (71%), school infrastructure (34%) and educational continuity (26%) are frequently overlooked. Furthermore, only 27% of NAPs provide cost estimates for education-related adaptation measures, hindering the transition from planning to implementation.

• Although education is widely mentioned in National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), with 98% of documents referencing education or educational institutions, the most frequent references are to "school" and "secondary" levels.
• There is a lack of empirical data regarding climate impacts on education, as fewer than half (40%) of NAPs include the education sector in their impact, vulnerability, and risk assessment (IVRA) sections.
• Adaptation measures in NAPs are often fragmented; only 16% of plans comprehensively address all three components of a climate-resilient education system: resilient infrastructure, school safety/continuity, and curriculum/pedagogy/teacher training.
• Curriculum changes are the most prevalent adaptation priority (71%), whereas school infrastructure (34%) and educational continuity and school safety (26%) receive significantly less priority.
• While 94% of NAPs mention children and youth and 55% recognize them as agents of change, only 23% explicitly reference their rights.
• Ministries of Education are largely excluded from the design and coordination of NAPs; only 11% were consulted during the drafting process, and very few have roles in coordination or monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) mechanisms.
• A critical gap exists between planning and implementation, as only 27% of NAPs that include education priorities also provide corresponding cost estimates.
