Why do we need climate-smart education? And how can education systems become ‘climate-proof’?

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is calling for urgent actions to ‘climate-proof’ the education sector and to accelerate climate-resilient and climate-smart education investments and actions. This call to action makes clear that climate change poses a serious risk to children's education in the East Asia and Pacific region, potentially undoing significant gains made in advancing children education and learning over the years, if action is not taken.
