Integrating the Education Sector Into the National Adaptation Plan Process

Core concepts

Education is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change—but it is also essential to building community resilience and, thus, the sector must adapt. 

Understanding the education sector and how to create a climate-resilient education system is critical to effectively integrating the sector into the national adaptation plan (NAP) process. 

This infographic explores the different levels, actors, and components from the education sector, working together to facilitate learning, based on the ‘Integrating the Education Sector into the NAP Process: a briefing note for NAP teams.’ It also breaks down the key elements needed for building a climate-resilient education system. 

A companion at-a-glance summary for education ministries is also available.
