Greening curriculum guidance: Teaching and learning for climate action
Greening curriculum to get all learners climate-ready
Education is a powerful tool to transform the world and drive long-long-term climate change action.
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-yearolds and up to 18+ age group, including a lifelong learning approach).
This is crucial for accelerating country-level action and ensuring joint monitoring of progress. The objective is to have 90 per cent of all countries include climate change in their curricula by 2030, as established by the Greening Education Partnership.
This guidance responds to the calls from young people for a holistic approach to climate change and sustainability in the curriculum, echoing the calls by the 2022 UN Transforming Education Summit. It defines 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 to 18+ age group, including lifelong learning approach).
