Unlocking the Transformative Power of Climate Change Education
Resources on Climate Change Education

Following the Strategic Roundtable on Climate Change Education at New York Climate Week 2025, together with the Office for Climate Education, we share surveys, briefs, best practices, and presentations that support the transformative power of climate change education.
Opportunities at local and international level
Bridging the funding gap, paving the way for effective conditions
Climate change education is essential to building resilient, inclusive societies. Strong partnerships are necessary to bridge funding gaps and expand access.
- Embed education in national climate strategies (National Determined Contributions (NDCs), National Action Plans (NAPs)) within the Paris Agreement framework to unlock new funding streams.
- Co-create Open Educational Resources (OER) with local communities allows for cost-effective and broader implementation.
- Invest in quality teacher’s professional development programs, communities of practice, and research to support capacity building efforts.
- Align with international standards and curricula to implement quality climate change education, based on science (IPCC reports), addressing equally the social dimension and active pedagogy.
- Support co-financing models that bring together climate, education, and development donors to scale integrated CCE programs. This includes building cross-sectoral alliances that collaborate long term in a given context.
- Support ongoing policy-practice dialogue to align educational innovation with national systems.
