The UN argues that education is a critical agent in addressing the issue of climate change and creating a better world for future generations. However, with the Asia-Pacific region accounting for most of the world’s new disaster and climate-related displacements – which poses significant barriers to the right to education - what role can educators and school communities play?

Drawing on insight into region-wide policy development and practices within schools, this panel discussion will explore solutions-led approaches to ensuring climate-resilience across school communities, considering the role of technology, and developing and implementing a climate change curriculum relevant to specific localities and cultures.
