The Centre for Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education in Africa (CEMASTEA) has launched a training programme for secondary school teachers to tackle climate change in their schools and classrooms.
The training covers topics such as environmental conservation, waste management, recycling, energy conservation, flood mitigation, and Indigenous knowledge.
The initiative aims to equip teachers with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively teach climate change, countering misinformation and promoting a holistic understanding of the issue.
The training is part of a larger effort by the United Nations to include climate change studies in all schools by 2025.
The training also emphasises the importance of integrating climate change into education programmes across multiple disciplines, including agriculture, environmental science, economics, and policy.
The training also aims to build capacity on policies around climate change, promote the implementation of policies, and increase budget allocation for climate mitigation and adaptation.
The initiative is part of a larger effort to educate the next generation on climate change and its impacts.
