What is the resource about?

Drawing from the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) for 2030 framework, this guidance will support countries to integrate climate change as a key curriculum component by 2030. The goal is to embed quality climate change education consistently across all subjects. This Guidance responds to the calls from young people for a holistic approach to climate change and sustainability in the curriculum. It outlines a common language on how quality climate change and sustainability can be reflected in the curriculum by setting expected learning outcomes per age group (from 5-year-olds and up to 18+ age group, including a lifelong learning approach).
