Key recommendations for governments: 1. Urgently mainstream education for sustainable development, and especially climate change education, across education systems, including in curricula, teaching and learning materials, and assessments. 2. Ensure that all teachers receive the necessary training and professional development to teach education for sustainable development and climate change education, as well as to empower the next generation (students) to protect the environment and adopt sustainable lifestyles. 3. Ensure a broad understanding of education for sustainable development, including human rights, global citizenship, gender equality, peace and non-violence alongside education on environmental issues and climate change. 4. Take care not to limit education for sustainable development to its cognitive dimension, but rather ensure to encompass behavioural, social and emotional learning as well. 5. Put in place policies to encourage education institutions to model sustainable practices. Education institutions should be environmentally friendly (making efforts to reduce waste, using renewable energies, etc.), and schools should champion civil rights.
