Promoting climate action requires education. It aids individuals in comprehending and addressing the effects of the climate catastrophe by equipping them with the information, know-how, values, and attitudes necessary to engage as change agents. UNESCO has been promoting education as a key component of the global response to climate change through its program on education for sustainable development. As a global advocate and with the goal of enhancing governments’ abilities to deliver high- quality climate change education, UNESCO creates and disseminates research, offers policy direction and technical support to its member states, and puts projects into action.
