The session will explore  the vital role of climate education in schools, emphasizing that the right to education is fundamental for empowering individuals and communities to address climate change. Education not only builds climate literacy but also equips people with the skills and knowledge needed to take meaningful action, adapt to new challenges, and support the transition to greener economies. This approach is championed by global organizations like UNESCO and the UNFCCC, which highlight education as a key driver for climate action.
