Integrating the Education Sector Into the National Adaptation Plan Process

The document defines the education sector's role in climate adaptation, identifying its vulnerability and its potential to build community resilience. It details the components of a climate-resilient education system, focusing on resilient infrastructure, integrated teaching and learning, and school safety and continuity management.

• A climate-resilient education system consists of three primary components: resilient infrastructure that is built or retrofitted to withstand climate hazards using gender- and disability-responsive approaches; integrated teaching and learning where climate change curricula are embedded across subjects and grade levels; and school safety and educational continuity management to protect the well-being of staff and students and minimize learning disruptions.
• The education sector is defined by three levels—formal education (early childhood, primary, and secondary), higher education and technical and vocational education and training (TVET), and non-formal education—and involves actors ranging from national and subnational authorities to teachers, parents, and students.
• Integrating the education sector into the national adaptation plan (NAP) process is necessary because education is highly vulnerable to climate change, and children under 18 bear the primary burden of resulting education disruptions.
