CYAF developing agency to address climate change
Climate change is one of the most pressing development challenges that has been created by human behaviour and can only be addressed by changing the behaviour of all individuals, families, communities and businesses and governments. Achieving this transformation will only be possible if every child is empowered to change their behaviour, advocate for and ensure changes in decisions and behaviour of their peers, families, schools, communities, businesses and governments. The education sector is responsible for developing the agency of every child to address climate change through their individual and collective actions, now and in the future. It is required to do so by providing climate change education that will develop learner agency to bring about change. But, to what end, what should that climate change education look like and what outcomes should be achieved?
What do we mean by developing agency for addressing climate change?
• What are the educational outcomes that must be achieved to develop agency for climate change?
• What must the education sector prepare children to do?
The answer depends on what we expect children to do with their climate change education: what do we mean when we talk of children as agents of change? Because this is what education for sustainable development must prepare them for.
