Climate
Change &
EDUCATION
While climate change presents new
challenges to education – education
provides a powerful means through which to respond.

Climate change impacts - drought, flooding, sea
level rise, intense cyclones will hit the tropics
hardest. Developing countries are ill equipped
to respond.

„Looking to the future, the danger is
that it will stall and then reverse
progress built-up over generations
not just in cutting extreme poverty,
but in health, nutrition, education and
other areas.‟
Climate Change
(UNDP 2007: Human Development Report)

Flooding
Average Sea Level - Rise 15-20cm in the 20 century
India has an estimated 100 people million living in its coastal zone (TERI, 2010).

Water Shortage
By the 2080’s 43-50% of
people will be living in
water scarce countries
compared with 28%
today

Food Production
75% of Africa’s agriculture is rain fed. With a
4oc rise 35% of will become unsuitable for
cultivation

Temperature rise and acidification

50% loss of live coral on the Great
Barrier Reef since 1985
Coral reefs support over 500 million people

Environmental Impacts and
Education
Loss of livelihoods and income and
worsening food security affects health and
school attendance.
Research in Côte d‟Ivoire shows in regions
experiencing greater than usual weather
variability, school enrolment rates declined
by 20 percent.

People exposed to drought
and civil strife in Zimbabwe
during early childhood
suffered a height loss of 3.4
centimetres, close to 1 fewer
years of schooling, and a six-
month delay in starting
school.

… children who suffer from protein-energy malnutrition, hunger, or … who carry a burden of diseases such as malaria, diarrhoea or worms … are more likely to repeat grades, drop out early and fail to learn adequately due to poor attention, low motivation and poor cognitive function.
Loss of human potential is estimated to
lead to a 20% decrease in adult income.

Gender
Girls enrolment and
school performance
suffers.
Girls disproportionately
bear the burden of
deteriorating livelihoods -
collecting clean water, fuel
and caring for the sick.

Climate Change ‘… the biggest global
health threat of the 21st century’
Climate change will alter the range of vector-borne diseases
such as malaria, dengue fever and water-borne infections.
The Lancet –
2009

In Kenya, malaria accounts for the annual
loss of 11% of school days for primary students
and 4.3% in secondary.
The cumulative
effect of absences
impacts on
learning
Malaria also
deprives students
of their teachers …

Reconstruction efforts will mean
funding is focused on maintaining
basic provision rather than investing
in systems improvement.
Cost
Extreme weather events will damage
education and health infrastructure and
disrupt service provision.

Strong performance in science and awareness of global environmental problems tend to go hand in hand, and both are associated with a sense of responsibility supporting sustainable environmental management..
Education for Action

Report

“Fostering a shared
understanding of the nature of
climate change, and it
consequences is critical in
shaping behaviour, as well as
in underpinning national and
international action…
Educating those currently at
school about climate change
will help shape and sustain
future policy making, and a
broad public and international
debate will support today’s
policy-makers in taking strong
action ”

School location risk assessment
Climate ‘proofed’ school design
Adapting to seasonality changes (school year, exam calendar, textbook distribution)
Disaster preparedness capacity e.g. to respond to internally displaced children / minimize disruption of schooling
Increased ‘scientific literacy’ e.g. higher education capacity to facilitate technological transfer
Capacity to respond to new migration streams
Demand side interventions e.g. conditional cash transfers
Integrated school / health interventions that protect cognitive development
Curriculum, assessment, teacher education reform e.g. localised curriculum components
Internationally portable qualifications (especially for small island states)
Research
Pedagogy and assessment systems that promote ‘higher order thinking’ in support of sustainable livelihoods
Orientation towards new ‘low carbon’ technologies & sustainable futures
