Delegates, the scientific community have claimed the urgent need to

mitigate climate change and, it is thus very necessary to educate the

upcoming generation about the same so that the nations can meet
their targets as set in the Paris Agreement.

For the same to be done efficiently, the Dutch delegation put forward
few suggestions. Beginning with the fact that effective integration of
Climate change into education requires an understanding of the root
causes and the social, economic and environmental relationships at
play. Education should be engaged as a mechanism to develop a
workforce with the skills and knowledge to power green
growth.Climate change should be addressed through the use of
formal, non-formal and informal education targeting a wide cross-
section of stakeholders, including students, communities, industries
and governments. Education is needed because, in the case of climate
change, learning from experience is learning too late. The delay
between decisions that cause climate change and their full societal
impact can range from decades to millennia. As a result, learning from
education, rather than experience, is necessary to avoid those
impacts.

Thank You
