CLIMATE CHANGE EDUCATION
Handbook for Schools in Nigeria
About
Climate change is impacting human lives in a variety of ways. It threatens the essential ingredients of good health – clean air, safe drinking water, nutritious food supply, and safe shelter – and has the potential to prevent or disrupt learning in schools. Children and young people need to acquire the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and commitment needed to effect individual and collective action to mitigate and adapt to climate risks, eliminate unsustainable practices, and bring about a sustainable future as soon as possible. Educational institutions/schools need to play a critical role in creating awareness on climate change.
As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change, this handbook on Climate Change Education (CCE) becomes imperative to empower teachers/facilitators and learners with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to mitigate its impacts and create a sustainable future.
This handbook is designed to support Nigerian educators in integrating CCE into their teaching practices, fostering a generation of climate-conscious leaders and change-makers.
