Хураангуй

In general, teacher education for climate change education (CCE) has not progressed much compared to school education for CCE. It is limited to the development of courses, and educational strategies and systematic educational programs have made little progress. Directing teacher education for CCE is an urgent and challenging task. In this study, the current situation and challenges of teacher education for CCE are presented. The basis for this attempt are discussions on the following sections:1) Global calls to accelerate
CCE; 2) development of CCE’s research and practices in schools; and 3) implementation of teacher education for CCE based on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Additionally, a new project to tackle this challenge in collaboration with Asian countries is introduced. The objectives of this project are to create a framework for the teacher education program for CCE in Asia, develop a dissemination guide for the framework, and promote mainstreaming CCE in teacher education institutions and schools.
