Executive Summary
Education plays an essential role in the global response to climate change. It helps
young people understand and address the impact of global warming, encourages
changes in their attitudes and behavior, and helps them adapt to climate change-
related trends.
Climate Class aims to make climate change education a more central and visible part
of climate change response on a local scale by promoting collective climate change
education programs. The program seeks to collectively assist younger generations or
school students, in collaboration with the local schools in Indonesia, as future leaders
understand the impact of global warming today and increase “climate literacy” among
young people. It does this by providing a collaborative open-source platform;
strengthening the capacity of local schools in the region to provide quality climate
change education; encouraging innovative teaching approaches to integrate climate
change education in school based on local or regional issues on the effects of climate
change; and raising awareness about climate change as well as enhancing non-formal
education program through media, networking, and partnerships.
Climate Class responds to climate change through education within the framework of
climate change education activities in Indonesia, in partnership with local schools, local
governments, non-governmental organizations (NGO), local universities, and global
players of climate change education. Climate Class focuses on three Cs: Connect,
Collaborate, and Create, in building collective actions to promote a culturally-locally
responsive climate change education.
