  Climate Change Education Inside and Outside the Classroom

Climate Change Education Inside and Outside the Classroom Climate Change Education Inside and Outside the Classroom UNESCO Course ESD as a response to climate change in Africa and SIDS Module 1  1. (...)  MITIGATION: identifying the causes of climate change and developing the knowledge, skills and values needed to rectify those causes.  ADAPTATION: building resilience and reducing vulnerability to climate change impacts.  UNDERSTANDING & ATTENTIVENESS: not only understanding the causes and impacts of climate change, but creating a mind-set of alertness, care and responsibility at individual and communal levels. THE DYNAMICS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ESD  Secondary school teachers have a vital role to play in equipping young people and communities to reduce their vulnerability to multiple stresses caused by climate change.  Through locally relevant, up-to-date and critically -informed curriculum activities, secondary school teachers can:  Develop knowledge, skills and values needed in communities to adapt to climate change stresses;  Provide essential information related to disaster risk management;  Initiate projects and networks to take appropriate action, locally and globally;  Develop critical thinking skills and ethical responses in young people to foster the social change needed for climate change mitigation.

  Climate Adaptation S

Climate Adaptation Synthesis Changes in biodiversity Factsheet ENVIRONMENT 2018 Aviation and Changes to Biodiversity The main risks to aviation from changes to biodiversity are wildlife migration and propagation of invasive species. Composition of ecosystems may change, leading to changes in both local biodiversity and wildlife migration patterns. (...) Changing interactions between flora and fauna may also be possible as both are expected to migrate due to climate change.

PowerPoint Presentation Climate change, regulatory change and regionalism in the Pacific Espen Ronneberg Climate Change Adviser SPREP Regional policy context • Long history of regional cooperation and coordination, due to capacity constraints, lack of resources and a commonality of challenges faced. • Regional agencies established for assisting countries. • Cooperate through the Council of Regional Organisations of the Pacific (CROP), and prominent in supporting requests of their Members. (...) Foremost agency on climate change and lead coordinator Climate change • Leaders recognise climate change to be the biggest threat facing the region. • Climate change is a dynamic, fast-moving, and SPREP is well placed as a leader, coordinator, and implementer in its areas of competence and expertise. • Historically only agency on climate change but greater involvement of others now PCCC • Pacific Climate Change Centre (PCCC), regional hub for inclusive collaboration and coordination on climate change priorities of Pacific. • Organisations working on climate change will have a conduit for collaboration for focussing and coordinating effort • PCCC direct benefit of Pacific, delivery of climate change and disaster risk management knowledge and services Coordination • SPREP coordinated regional projects on policy development. PIGGAREP looked at institutional, technical and regulatory barriers to renewable energy. • Countries enabling environments changed to be more conducive to introduction of renewable energy. • PIFACC established advisory aspects of climate change, discussions under the Pacific Climate Change Roundtable, and for the establishment of the Pacific Climate Change Portal.

Microsoft Word - New_Zealand_CCIS.DOC REPORT ON NEW ZEALAND’S VIEWS ON THE POSSIBLE SECURITY IMPLICATIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGE Key Points • The possible implications of climate change for security is a relatively new angle to international discussions on climate change. (...) The type of conflict that may occur, when, and to what extent, as a result of the adverse impacts of climate change is still relatively unclear and undefined. • Without effective mitigation and adaptation action, climate change is likely to become a major driver of change to the security environment after 2030. (...) It will be important to continue to provide assistance to Pacific and other vulnerable states in evaluating the impacts of and adapting to climate change. • The Niue Declaration on climate change (attached as Annex A) references the adverse impacts of climate change in the Pacific.
