Media Kit: Education, a powerhouse for driving climate ambition
This social media kit contains background information, key messages and links to related resources about climate change and education in emergencies.
Background:
A staggering 400 million students globally experienced school closures from extreme weather since 2022, with climate change disproportionately impacting those boys and girls who are displaced or affected by conflicts, violence and other humanitarian crises.
The challenge is clear, and so are some of the solutions. Specific actions to undertake, in view of the upcoming COP29 and beyond, are set out in key messages on EiE and climate change.
On 20 November 2023, the EiE Hub members launched the flagship report, Leveraging Education in Emergencies for Climate Action. This was the first report to examine the effects of climate change on EiE. Furthermore, education gained prominence among topics discussed at COP28, through a dedicated day during the conference as well as the Declaration on the common agenda for education and climate change at COP28. This momentum must be maintained through COP29 and beyond.
Together, we can drive climate ambition, and adapt and minimise learning losses for all children and youth.

1)
Education for children & youth, including in emergencies, should be included in all @UNFCCC processes, @COP29_az & COP30 to advance #climate resilience, adaptation, mitigation.

Education was prominent among topics discussed at COP28. Momentum must be maintained through @COP29_AZ
It’s important that #IPCC focuses more on disproportionate impacts of #ClimateChange on children & youth, incl. #education for those furthest behind

For under US$20/student, policymakers can minimise learning losses by taking urgent action to increase int’l #ClimateFinance focusing on resilience through #education, incl. in humanitarian settings.
4)
The challenge is clear, and so are the solutions.
We can strengthen resilience of #education systems – incl. through implementation of the Comprehensive School Safety Framework.
Together, we can drive climate ambition &📉learning losses for all.
5)
Children & youth’s needs, incl. #education, should be included in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) & other relevant climate plans.
Together, we can drive climate ambition, adapt &📉learning losses for all.
6)
The challenge is clear, and so are the solutions – such as ensuring inclusion, participation & representation of children & youth’s voices & perspectives in global & nat’l #climate policy-making & action.
Together, we can drive climate ambition.
7)
Green skills & #climate #education should be embedded at all levels, incl. in emergencies, empowering children, youth & teachers to deliver just transition to a sustainable economy.
Together, we can drive climate ambition &📉learning losses for all.
8)
Currently, ‹1/2 of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are child- or youth-sensitive, & only 2.4% of #ClimateFinance from major multilateral funds support child-centred resilience projects.
The challenge is clear, and so are the solutions.
9)
Only 1/2 of national curricula worldwide mention #ClimateChange – a significant missed opportunity to raise awareness & drive climate action for mitigation and adaptation.
