Integrating Climate Change Education Into School Management Practices: A Pathway To Resilient Communities

Abstract

Universally, climate change constitutes one of the most critical issues of the 21st century with aggravated impacts on ecosystems, human health and socio-economic structures. Overall, climate literacy and resilience must be developed in various populations, particularly from educational institutions as they are key players in tackling climate change challenges. This paper looks at the way CCE can be integrated into school management policies as a strategic way to build resilient communities. CCE can be embedded in the curriculums, the administrative frameworks, the infrastructure policies and even in the community outreach initiative of schools so that they become centers for sustainability and climate action. In sum, the paper highlights the potential for CCE to transform environmentally good citizens and their proactive communities to face climate vulnerabilities.
