Education in National Adaptation Plan Processes

The inclusion of the education sector in the national adaptation plan (NAP) process is critical: the education sector itself is profoundly impacted by climate change, which places the education of millions of children at risk every year. It is also a key foundation for building the adaptive capacity of individuals and communities. 

Developed by Save the Children and the NAP Global Network, this report analyzes the inclusion of the education sector, and children and youth, in NAP processes based on an analysis of 62 multisectoral documents submitted to the UNFCCC as of June 30, 2025. It also features case studies of country experiences and provides recommendations for improving the integration of the education sector into NAP processes.
