FCDO’s Position Paper sets out the case for taking a more integrated approach to tackling education and climate and environmental change. It identifies a two-way relationship whereby climate and environmental change disrupt education access and systems, but quality education, especially for girls, leads to better climate resilience, adaptation, and mitigation. The paper argues that without making education systems resilient to climate and environmental change, we will not achieve education goals.
