6. • We continue supporting broad-based climate change
education to shift mind-sets and behaviors that will drive
economic and societal transformation.
• Investments in green technology and climate-resilient
infrastructures are constantly growing. However, climate
change education and training is not attracting sufficient
funding.
• Climate change education works best when
contextualized by local knowledge, culture, language
and gender considerations.
